After its decent theatrical run Tamil biographical drama ‘800’ is all set for its digital premiere. Helmed by M.S. Sripathy and based on the life of Sri Lankan international cricketer Muttiah Muralitharan, ‘800’ will start streaming on Jio Cinema early next month.
‘800’ is based on Muttiah Muralitharan’s life, the highest wicket-taker in the history of cricket. The story captures the many facets of Muralitharans life, the tale of an oppressed Tamil and someone who was once called for chucking who championed Sri Lankan Cricket, and went on to become one of the greatest cricketers ever.
It reveals how Murali finds solace in cricket, stands up to bullies, and transforms from an excitable pace bowler into the highest wicket-taker in cricket’s history. It also dives deep into the issue of nationality versus humanity.
‘800’ is directed by M.S. Sripathy who has co-written the film with Shehan Karunatilaka. The film stars Madhur Mittal in the titular role, Mahima Nambiar, Narain, King Ratnam, Nassar, and more.
Produced by Movie Train Motion Pictures and Vivek Rangachari, and presented by Sridevi Movies and Sivalenka Krishna Prasad, ‘800’ will start streaming for free on Jio Cinema from 2nd December, 2023.
