Shoes of The Dead is set in the background of the farmer suicides of the Vidharba region. It is a story about a farmer’s battle with the politicos to get justice for his brother and many other farmers who committed suicide. Currently Vetrimaaran is working on the pre-production of Vada Chennai, with Dhanush.
