We had previously reported that Vijay Sethupathi is set to star in the biopic of Sri Lankan cricketer Muttiah Muralitharan. It's now known that actor Rana Daggubati will co-produce the film along with DAR Motion Pictures under his banner, Suresh Productions.

“Suresh Productions is going to be associated with Dar films in telling the story of a legend through legendary actor – Vijay Sethupathi as Muttiah Muralitharan… Coming soon,” Rana said in a statement.

The untitled film, which will go on floors from December this year, will be directed by MS Sripathi (who had previously directed a film titled Kanimozhi) and will be made in Tamil and released in several languages across the world.
