After a day of announcing and releasing motion poster of Muttiah Muralidaran’s biopic, which titled as ‘800’, several Tamilians have kept severe pressure on Vijay Sethupathi trending his name on #ShameOnVijaySethupathi hashtag.

Many netizens are unhappy with Vijay Sethupathi making a film on Sri Lankan cricketer, as Tamilians are always against the country which oppressed their fellow Tamilians.

Several Tamilians have said that the Sri Lankan government was responsible for the genocide of thousands of Tamils, and treats them as minorities in the country.

A few filmmakers from Tamil Industry like director Seenu Ramasamy have also urged Vijay Sethupathi to drop the idea of doing the film.

However, fans of Vijay Sethupathi have defended him saying to look the film as a biopic of a cricketing legend.

They referred ‘Gandhi’, and said, if Hollywood makes a film about Gandhi, then why not India make a film about a cricketing legend?

The biopic is the journey of Muralitharan from childhood to becoming a legendary bowler who took 800 wickets in his two-decade-long career.MS Sripathy is helming the project, and the shoot commences early 2021.
