It was announced on Monday that actors Dhruv Vikram and Anupama Parameswaran are teaming up with director Mari Selvaraj for their next film titled Bison Kaalamaadan. The filmmakers launched the film the same day, releasing a poster to make the announcement. While there were rumours that the film is a biopic, Mari denied the same in an interview to TOI.
‘Bison is a fictional film’
Talking to the publication from Tirunelveli, where they’re shooting for the film, Mari said it is not a biopic. He stated, “This film will revolve around kabaddi, but contrary to reports, it is not a biopic but a fictional one. We will shoot a 60-day schedule here, then move to Chennai for the remaining portions.” Some reports claimed that Bison was a biopic based on real-life events. However, Mari, known for making hard-hitting films like Karnan and Pariyerum Perumal, denied the same.

With the blessings of God, with the blessings of his family with the blessings of millions of fans and with the blessings of all of yours, there is no doubt that Dhruv Vikram will shine as the biggest star in the Indian film industry.”
