The motion poster of the Tamilmovie entitled ‘800’, which is the biopic of Sri Lankan spin bowling legend Muttiah Muralitharan, has been released. Today (17) is also Murali’s 51st birthday.
Written-directed by MS Sripathy, the film is titled ‘800’, after the record number of wickets Muralitharan took in Test cricket. Muralitharan represented Sri Lanka in 133 Tests, 350 ODIs and 12 T20 Internationals. He took a staggering 800 wickets in the longest format, 534 in the ODIs and 13 in the T20s. He was also part of Sri Lanka’s ODI World Cup triumph in 1996.
The movie stars Madhurr Mittal as Muttiah Muralitharan in the main lead role. The music is composed by Ghibran.
