Ka Pae Ranasingam (transl.Husband name Ranasingam) is a 2020 Indian Tamil-language political drama film written and directed by P. Virumaandi in his directorial debut. The film stars Vijay Sethupathi and Aishwarya Rajesh. Based on a true story, the film follows Ariyanachi (Aishwarya Rajesh), a poor woman who strives to bring her deceased husband's body back to India from Dubai, battling the odds of political agenda, corruption and a treacherous bureaucracy that stand in her way.

The film began production in June 2019, and was completed in October 2019, being extensively shot in Ramanathapuram and a few sequences in Hyderabad and Dubai. The film's music is composed by Ghibran and cinematography and editing were handled by N. K. Ekambaram and T. Sivanandeeshwaran.

Ka Pae Ranasingam was scheduled to release in the newly launched streaming service Zee Plex, bypassing a theatrical release due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was released on 2 October 2020, coinciding with Gandhi Jayanti, and was dubbed and released in Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada and Hindi on 9 October 2020. It received positive response from critics praising Aishwarya Rajesh's performance.
