Vijay Sethupathi have recently confirmed that he is backing out of the Muthiah Muralidharan biopic 800 which has been in controversy for sometime now.
Taking on his social media, the actor shared a letter written by the former Sri Lankan cricketer, requesting him to withdraw from the film. Vijay’s publicist Yuvaraj also confirmed the news to TNM.
The objections started since the poster of the film was out. The allegations said that Muralidharan was a supporter of the Rajapaksa government in Sri Lanka which is accused of committing genocide against the Tamil people.
Even Vijay’s name has been in the news for quite sometime now. Even on social media #ShameonVijaySethupathi trended for quite a while.
