Originally it was decided to make this film with famous Tamil actor Vijay Sethupathi. However, Vijay Sethupathi’s acceptance of the film led to severe opposition in Tamil Nadu. The people of Tamil Nadu did not accept Vijay Sethupathi playing the role of a Sri Lankan cricketer who massacred Tamils. With this, Vijay Sethupathi left the project. With this, Madhur Mittal was brought into the field. However, it is remarkable that the Telugu producer has secured the distribution rights of this film.
The distribution rights of ‘800’ Alindia have been acquired by popular producer and head of Sridevi Movies Sivalenka Krishnaprasad. This film made in Tamil will be translated and released in Telugu, Hindi and English languages. The whole team of the film worked hard for a year and a half and made the film. Shot in Sri Lanka, England, Australia, Chennai, Cochin, Chandigarh. It is a film made with huge production cost.
