Vetrimaaran to direct another film based on a novel

Visaranai was a prison thriller directed by Vetrimaaran. This film was based on the novel titled Lockup written by Chandrakumar.
Chandran, whose full name is M Chandrakumar, is a 53-year-old auto-rickshaw driver from Coimbatore. And, he is the author of Lock Up, the book on which the Tamil film, Visaranai, is based. The film, a thriller directed by Vetrimaaran and co-produced by actor Dhanush, is the first Tamil movie to have entered the competitive session at the Venice International Film Festival.
Now Vetrimaaran will be directing a political thriller film based on the novel Shoes of the Dead written by senior journalist Kota Neelim. This disturbing book exposes the horrific nexus between the politicians in their bungalows and the village suicide committees comprising the panchayat leader, the doctor at the primary health centre, the local bank manager, the police chief and yes, the district money lender-automatically included as the richest man around-who adjudicate in the grisly matter of farmer suicides.
