Sachin Tendulkar Sanath Jayasuriya Launch biopic Trailer Of Sri-Lankan Off-Spinner Muttiah Muralitharan
Madhurr Mittal most acclaimed for films like Slumdog Millionaire, Maatr, will play the role of cricket legend Muttiah Muralitharan in his biopic.
At the launch he shared that the child inside him is crying with joy because it’s a moment. He couldn’t believe that the chance to play Murali has been bestowed upon him. He ollowed his captain in times of turbulence and smiled when he was doing well.
Adding further, he reveals that the fights among the odds has come out strongly. This film goes much ahead of being just a sports film. Because there is a huge socio-political landscape and the journey that the country itself goes through. He hopes for its successful. He ensured that his portrayal of the part doesn’t look like a caricature and worked hard to imbibe his traits. It was also important for the actor to not crumble under the responsibility of playing a legend.”
He was born in the 90s so obviously grew up watching him. Initially, it was very daunting when he realised that he had to emote him. The second challenge was to get his look and accent right, for which we did many workshops. We tried many different looks. The most important thing that Madhurr felt was, even though he wanted his character to look like him, it shouldn’t look like a caricature.
Director Sripathi shares, that it’s a very special occasion and have waited for a long time for this. The first thing that was in his mind was making the movie on a legend. The film has to have that quality. He had wonderful support from his team. As an artist, we need to have the primary responsibility to erase the boundaries amidst the people. The cast, creed, religion nothing is more important than humanity.”
He concludes that this is a story of a six years old boy, who grew up in an unfair world and was trying to find out his identity.
He decides to create his own
Identity, thus he became a cricket legend. He feels, Sachin Tendulkar is an inspiration for billions and hence is the best legend to launch this trailer.
Meanwhile Muralitharan shares, that the film doesn’t talk about his records; it talks about how he accomplished the number of 800. It is all about the inside story. There are some stories that even he wasn’t aware because his director researched for two years, stayed in Colombo, went to his places, and met his friends. It’s a true story, so nothing has been added. We have shown what has happened.
Sachin Tendulkar, who unveiled the trailer says,that he was there to wish his very dear frind Murali. People need to know this biopic as to what happened in his life. He remembers meeting him up in 1993 for the first time thereafter, we continued to be good friends. He asked him to come and attend this event, and Sachin just couldn’t refuse him.
