Being Projected as Anti-Tamil is Distressing, Says Muttiah Muralitharan on Biopic Row

There were others, such as actor Radikaa Sarathkumar, who rose to his defense.

From Muralitharan’s perspective, his statement of clarification was meant for the public at large and neutral onlookers who must have seen a “stream of criticism” aimed at him.

He also clarified about a statement he made last year. “There has been a distortion of my opinion expressed last year. I had said that 2009 was when I enjoyed the happiest day of my life. I had said this last year and this was made out as though the massacre of Eelam Tamils was a happy development for Muthaiah Muralitharan. You should please try to understand that I had made that statement as an expression of relief that there have not been any loss of life on both sides over the last 10 years.”
