Visaranai (transl. Interrogation) is a 2015 Indian Tamil-language crime drama film written and directed by Vetrimaaran. The film was produced by Dhanush under his banner Wunderbar Films. It is based on the novel Lock Up by M. Chandrakumar. The film stars Dinesh, Anandhi, Samuthirakani, Aadukalam Murugadoss, Kishore, Pradheesh Raj, and Silambarasan Rathnasamy. The background score was composed by G. V. Prakash Kumar. The film deals with the lives of two men before and after being thrown into a kafkaesque scenario in which they get tortured for confession.

Production

The film was adapted from the novel titled Lock up, written by M. Chandrakumar, an auto rickshaw driver in Coimbatore. Vetrimaaran chose to begin the film before the schedule for his other venture Vada Chennai (2018) and signed up actors Attakathi Dinesh and Aadukalam Murugadoss to play convicts in the film. The film earlier had a working title Kutravaali. The director initially described it as an experimental film lasting only 60 minutes.
