In his letter to Vetri Maaran, Mysskin confessed that he couldn’t watch Visaranai along with his directorial colleagues, as he was busy organising the party. But, Mysskin did watch the film the following day at Four Frames. Calling the film truthful and intense, he added, ” Vetri Maaran, you have reached the pinnacle of your career. You have created a worthiest film of your life.” An experimental thriller, the hour long film stars Anandhi and Dinesh.
