For the last so many days, we have been witnessing controversies regarding Vijay Sethupathi playing the lead role in Muttiah Muralitharan biopic titled 800.

Right after the actor announced his involvement in the project, he is constantly being criticized. Most Tollywood actors, producers and directors have already approached Sethupathi not to go ahead with the film.

Not only that, some fans also want the actor not to take part in this film as it mainly reciprocates with politics. A lot has been said till now by different means.

Vijay Sethupathi had recently visited Tamil Nadu Chief Minister Edappadi K Palaniswami to pay tribute to his late mother. He was questioned about the ongoing controversy.
