The release of the official trailer for the biopic “800,” based on the life of renowned Sri Lankan cricketer Muttiah Muralitharan, is a momentous occasion for cricket fans and audiences alike. MS Sripathy, who both wrote and directed the film, promises to deliver an enthralling peek into Muralitharan’s incredible career as one of cricket’s finest spin bowlers.

Cricket icons Sachin Tendulkar and Sanath Jayasuriya unveiled the trailer in Mumbai, adding to the anticipation surrounding the movie. Madhurr Mittal, renowned for his role in the Oscar-winning film “Slumdog Millionaire,” will step into the shoes of Muralitharan, bringing the cricketer’s story to life on the big screen.

“I am very proud because they came (Sachin Tendulkar and Sanath Jayasuriya) and launched it for me. And also I feel that this project has been going on for last 5 years and now it has come to real. Hopefully people enjoy this movie,” Muralitharan told ANI.

“800” will be released in a variety of languages, including Tamil, Hindi, and Telugu, allowing it to reach a wide audience across the Indian subcontinent. The film’s premiere is keenly anticipated since it promises to honor Muttiah Muralitharan’s exceptional achievements and tenacious spirit.

The “800” teaser appears to provide viewers with a more in-depth look into Muttiah Muralitharan’s life, bringing light on lesser-known areas of his personal journey.

The film appears to set the stage for a drama that transcends beyond the cricketing field by beginning with flashbacks to the 1970s and illustrating the hardships encountered by the Tamil minority in Sri Lanka during that period.

Muralitharan is widely recognized as one of the finest bowlers in cricket history, having taken 800 Test wickets and 530 ODI wickets. He is also the leading wicket-taker in both Test and ODI cricket.

The highly anticipated biopic “800” will be released on October 6th.
