Vijay Sethupathi has been facing many criticisms for the past few weeks. Tamil fans and celebrities were manifesting their condemnation for Vijay Sethupathi's enacting in Muthiah Muralitharan's biopic.
In this situation, Yesterday, Muthiah Muralitharan requested Vijay Sethupathi to withdraw from the film. Because he doesn't want the greatest artist would be affected for the sake of him. If he chose to continue the movie, his journey would be hampered in the future.
Muthiah Muralitharan tweet:
He also said, " As far I known, many people were placing a lot of pressure on actor Vijay Sethupathi to quit '800' due to misunderstandings. I do not want the greatest artist would be judged because of him. I had crossed many obstacles to reach where I am now. I agreed to the biopic, hoping it would inspire many young cricketers and future generations. But now it turned to be a hitch.
