Meanwhile, Mysskin has penned a letter to Vetri, in which he said, “when my friends asked whether I watched Visaranai and how was it, I broke my silence and shared my thoughts about the film. They turned mute after that.”

He added: “Vetrimaran…! My co-passenger, you have done it. You have touched the pinnacle of Art. You have created a film which will give fulfillment to your life. If Balu Mahendra had been alive today, he would have hugged you and given a peck on your forehead with immense happiness.”
