One of the most significant movies that sports lovers are eagerly looking forward to this month is director Sripathy’s 800-The Movie, the biopic of former ace Sri Lankan spinner Muthiah Muralidaran.
Sources say the film is scheduled to hit the screens on 6 October.
It features Madhur Mittal and Mahima Nambiar in the lead and has been shot extensively in Sri Lanka, where the unit had to brave riots to shoot some significant portions.
Cricketer Muthiah Muralidaran, while speaking about the Tamil movie, said that he told director Sripathy that everything depicted in the film must be the actual truth.
He further said, “This is a film that is not about cricket. The records can be accessed from the Internet. What is there in 800 is the inside story. The other side of achieving 800.”
“Cricket scenes will appear for 20 minutes in this two-hour 45-minute film. The remaining will be about my ancestry, how I played cricket despite my challenges,” he added.
Hundreds of hours of effort that made Team 800’s grand vision a reality. ✨#800BTS
Trailer is out, watch now.

One other most eagerly awaited film this October is director Yuvaraj Dhayalan’s Irugapatru.
The Tamil film, which features a host of young stars like Vikram Prabhu, Shraddha Srinath, Vidarth and Sri, is releasing in theatres on 6 October.
Interest in the film shot up after the unit released a trailer that showed that it was about relationships. The project also evoked a lot of interest as director Yuvaraj Dhayalan is determined to deliver a hit.
It may be recalled that Yuvaraj’s previous film Eli, featuring Vadivelu in the lead, bombed badly at the box office. Eli‘s failure was so huge that it almost made Yuvaraj give up filmmaking.
Determined to show that he can deliver a hit as well, Yuvaraj has now come up with Irugapatru.
Here it is! See you in theatres on October 6th😍
Relationships are a maze of emotions, and #Irugapatru 💕reveals the twists and turns! Here is the trailer of the compelling journey.
