Film-maker
Vetrimaaran's
critically
acclaimed
Tamil
drama
Visaranai,
about
police
brutality,
is
all
set
to
be
remade
in
Hindi.
The
remake
rights
have
been
bought
by
maverick
director
Priyadarshan.
"Yes,
the
Hindi
remake
rights
have
been
acquired
by
Priyadarshan," Vetrimaaran
told
IANS.
Priyadarshan
will
direct
and
produce
the
Hindi
version
of
the
film.
According
to
some
reports,
Akshay
Kumar
was
rumoured
to
be
a
part
of
the
project.
However,
it
was
denied
by
Vetrimaaran.
"Akshay
being
a
part
of
the
film
is
just
a
rumour.
It's
not
true,"
he
said.
Based
on
the
Tamil
novel
"Lock
Up"
by
auto
driver
M
Chandrakumar,
the
film
is
partly
inspired
from
real
events
from
his
own
life.
The
film,
which
had
its
world
premiere
at
the
Venice
International
Film
Festival
last
year,
is
currently
running
in
Indian
theatres.
It
features
Dinesh,
Samuthirakani,
Ajay
Ghosh
and
Kishore
in
important
roles.
The
film
is
bankrolled
by
Dhanush
under
his
home
banner,
Wunderbar
Films.
