After cricket, movies are source of entertainment in Sri Lanka: Muttiah Muralitharan

New Delhi, Dec 1 (PTI) Sri Lankan cricket legend Muttiah Muralitharan says Hindi and Tamil films enjoy a huge fan following in his home country and the craze for cinema comes in a close second to cricket in the island nation.

The legendary spinner also said he recently watched Tamil hits such as “Jailer”, “Leo” and Hindi movies “Jawan” and “Tiger 3”.

“In Sri Lanka, Hindi movies are famous because very few movies are made in Sri Lanka. They (Sri Lankan films) don’t have a lot of budget but they still run in theatres because people want to watch films in their own language. Both Hindi and Tamil movies are famous in Sri Lanka. Something for entertainment in Sri Lanka, cricket is a part, next one is the movies,” Muralitharan told
