Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Muralitharan himself was initially skeptical of a biopic and only approved after Madhur Mittal's physical transformation convinced him.
The 'Murali no-ball' incident against Australia in 1995 sparked a two-decade scientific and racial debate about bowling legitimacy that this film finally reframes from a Sri Lankan perspective.
