Actor Dhruv Vikram was last seen on screen in the neo noir action thriller flick Mahaan helmed by Karthik Subbaraj with actors Vikram and Simran in the lead roles. The movie opened to mixed reviews and did not fare well in the box office. The Adithya Varma star is now getting ready for the release of his upcoming venture titled Bison. Malayalam actress Anupama Parameswaran of Thalli Pogathey fame has been paired with the actor in the drama. Director Mari Selvaraj has written and crafted the movie. Bison is his fifth project following Pariyerum Perumal, Karnan, Maamannan, and Vaazhai. Malayalam actor Lal, who played a pivotal role in Mari Selvaraj’s Karnan is also part of the film. The shoot for the venture was wrapped last month. The production house has plans to bring the flick to theaters for summer of 2025.
Director Mari Selvaraj recently celebrated his born day. As a token of love and celebration the makers have now launched the first look poster on the occasion. Taking to his official X profile, story teller Mari Selvaraj himself unveiled the first look poster of Bison and captioned it, “நான் எங்கிருந்து வருகிறேன் என்று உனக்கு தெரியும் ஏன் வருகிறேன் என்றும் உனக்கு தெரியும் வந்து சேர்ந்தால் என்ன செய்வேனென்றும் உனக்கு தெரியும் ஆதலால் . . . நீ கதவுகளை அடைக்கிறாய் நான் முட்டிமோதி மூர்க்கமாய் உடைக்கிறேன். – பைசன் (காளமாடன்) Bison Kaalamaadan.” Here is the post made by the story teller.
Bison Movie Poster
The first look poster has a three-layered mise en abyme image of actor Dhruv Vikram as an athlete in a crouched position, a larger middle with him with hands on his hip, and the third with a bull’s horn matching his head in the middle posture. Earlier in a special poster released by the production team actor Dhruv Vikram was seen holding the skull of a dead bison with its horn in front of his face. Bison is said to be a sports film inspired on the life of Kabaddi player Manathi Ganesan, who was conferred the prestigious Arjuna award. Beside Dhruv Vikram, Lal, and Anupama Parameswaran, the cast of the entertainer also has actors Pasupathy, Kalaiyarasan, Azhagam Perumal, Rajisha Vijayan, Hari Krishnan, and Aruvi Madhanand in various supporting characters.
Music composer Nivas K Prasanna has joined force with director Mari Selvaraj for the first time in his career. Cinematographer Ezhil Arasu has been behind camera for the drama. Editor Sakthi Thiru has handled the editing division of the entertainer. Art director Kumar Gangappan has engineered sets for the project. Action director Dhilip Subbarayan has fashioned action moves for the venture. The flick is backed by Pa Ranjith under the production house Neelam Studios partnering with Sameer Nair, Aditi Anand, and Deepak Seigal for the banner house Applause Entertainment.
On the professional front, actor Dhruv Vikram is currently busy shooting for his next untitled film which is helmed by storyteller Ajay Bhupathi.
