Few days back, the official motion poster of the movie 800 was launched, and ever since the event, there have been a huge controversy demanding Vijay Sethupathi to quit the project as it is the biopic of Muthiah Muralitharan who is alleged to have been against Tamils.

With growing opposition against Vijay Sethupathi, as directors Bharathiraja, Cheran etc and lyricist Thamarai, actor Vivek etc voicing out to urge Vijay Sethupathi to opt out of 800, now actress Radhika Sarathkumar who has acted with him in Naanum Rowdy dhaan, Dharmadurai etc has come in support of Vijay Sethupathi.

Radhika Sarathkumar tweeted "#muthaiyamuralitharan biopic &asking @VijaySethuOffl not to act??do these people hav no work??why not ask @SunRisers why he is the head coach, team belongs to a Tamilian with political affiliations?VSP is an actor, and do not curb an actor. VSP&cricket both don’t warrant nonsense. The owners of #Sunrisers, & #SunTV, though they have political affiliations, all these decades they could distinctly & professionally handle politics, sports & entertainment with due credits. Why not our film industry look at entertainment away from political view point. my intention of that tweet was not to create any room for controversies but was to support the film industry and the connected artists within prejudices. That's why I brought in #Sunrisers name as a testimony of non biased, neutral and professional approach".
