'Visaaranai' didn't let me catch a breath: Taapsee

Actress Taapsee Pannu considers National Award-winning filmmaker Vetrimaaran's Tamil thriller "Visaaranai" a masterpiece, and said that the film didn't even let her catch a breath.

Taapsee watched the film here at the ongoing 17th Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival.

"I'm not surprised how the film made me feel. It didn't even give me a minute to catch a breath," Taapsee told IANS.

Inspired by true events, the film is about organized crime within police force. It also throws the spotlight on police brutality.

"I really can't describe the experience of watching the film in words. It's a masterpiece and it doesn't matter Vetrimaaran sir takes nearly five years to make a film," she said.

Having worked with Vetrimaaran in Tamil film "Aadukalam", Taapsee says the filmmaker has raised the bar with his latest film.
