As it was announced before a week, Makkal Selvan Vijay Sethupathi is all set to star in the biopic of Sri Lankan legendary spinner Muttiah Muralitharan playing the title role, and this movie is expected to be officially launched in few weeks as the actor is currently shooting for Sanga Tamizhan.

The yet to be titled biopic is directed by Sripathy who had earlier directed Kanimozhi starring Jai and this movie will be produced by Bollywood production house DAR motion pictures and actor Rana Daggubati and Suresh Productions together, as it was revealed by Rana on Twitter.

The latest speculation making rounds is that this biopic might have legendary Indian Cricketer and one of the all time best batsmen in the world, Sachin Tendulkar making an appearance. Sachin and Muttiah had many moments on field besides sharing a good rapport off the field, and it will be interesting to see Sachin appear in the cricketer's biopic, though an official clarification on this speculation is awaited.
