800: Madhurr Mittal, best known for playing Salim in Slumdog Millionaire (2008), steps into the shoes of one of the world’s greatest cricketers Muthiah Muralitharan who is widely known for his unique bowling style, one that most batters dread. The first look of the movie `800` was released on the occasion of Muralitharan’s 51st birthday by director MS Sripathy. The movie is set to release on October 6. Cricketers like Harbhajan Singh, Virender Sehwag, and Muttiah Muralitharan interacted with the media about the biopic `800` and mentioned how emotional it was for them to watch the movie and that it was a visual delight. The three talked about the struggles Muttiah Muralitharan had gone through even mentally throughout his journey. Muttiah Muralitharan mentioned that no one knows about his struggles better than his best friend Harbhajan Singh who has had almost similar life experiences.
