Actor-filmmaker
Kamal
Haasan
is
in
awe
of
forthcoming
Tamil
thriller
Visaranai
and
its
director,
Vetrimaaran.
The
Vishwaroopam
actor
saw
the
movie
at
a
private
screening
on
Friday
(29th
Jan).
"My
heartfelt
thanks
to
late
filmmaker
Balu
Mahendra,
who
inspired
Vetrimaaran
to
make
good
cinema.
I
was
totally
in
awe
when
I
watched
his
'Visaaranai'
yesterday," Haasan
wrote
on
his
Twitter
page
on
Saturday.
The
film,
which
is
about
police
brutality,
is
inspired
from
true
events
and
is
based
on
the
book
"Lock
Up".
It
features
Dinesh,
'Aadukalam' Murugadoss,
Samuthirakani,
'Kayal'
Anandhi
and
Kishore
in
the
lead
roles.
Last
year,
the
film
had
its
world
premiere
at
the
Venice
International
Film
Festival
and
was
later
screened
at
the
Mumbai
International
Film
Festival,
too.
Jointly
produced
by
actor
Dhanush
and
Vetrimaaran,
the
film
is
slated
for
a
worldwide
theatrical
release
on
February
5th.
Meanwhile,
Kamal
Haasan
is
currently
working
on
his
upcoming
flick,
Appa
Amma
Vilayattu
which
has
yesteryear
actress
Amala
Akkineni
as
its
female
lead.
The
film
might
release
before
the
end
of
this
year.
