Former Sri Lankan cricketer Muttiah Muralidharan is considered as one of the best spin bowlers in cricket history. Now, reports are coming out that Muralidharan’s biopic is under production in Tamil.

According to reports, prominent Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi has been roped in to play Muralidharan’s role. The film, tentatively titled ‘800’, is expected to go on floors by December this year.

The film will be shot in India, Sri Lanka and England. An official announcement regarding the biopic will be made soon. The off-spinner, who has taken 800 wickets in Test cricket, is known to have Tamil roots.

Meanwhile, Vijay Sethupathi is currently busy with his projects 'Kadaisi Vivasayi' and 'Sanga Thamizhan'.
