The wait is over — and it was absolutely worth it. The makers of Bison (aka Bison: Kaalamaadan) dropped the much-anticipated trailer late last evening, and within 24 hours, it’s already racked up a staggering 4 million views — a clear sign that fans are ready for this intense, emotionally charged rural sports drama.
Starring Dhruv Vikram in a fiery, rugged avatar, the film brings kabaddi to the forefront, wrapped in a story that feels equal parts raw, real, and riveting. From the very first frame, it’s clear that Bison is no ordinary sports film. It’s a Mari Selvaraj special — layered, poetic, and driven by deep-rooted social commentary. Fans are already raving: “#DhruvVikram has lived the title role… We’re going to see an intense performance!”
Set against the backdrop of rural Tamil Nadu, the trailer showcases gripping visuals, intense kabaddi matches, and a rising tide of emotion and rebellion. Dhruv looks to have undergone a total transformation for the role — physically and emotionally — and his commitment to the character is already drawing comparisons to some of Kollywood’s most iconic performances.
Directed and written by Mari Selvaraj, the film is produced by Sameer Nair, Deepak Segal, Pa. Ranjith, and Aditi Anand under Applause Entertainment and Neelam Studios, two production houses known for backing bold, meaningful cinema. The film also features a powerhouse supporting cast including Anupama Parameswaran, Pasupathy, Lal, Ameer, Rajisha Vijayan, Azhagam Perumal, and Kalaiyarasan.
With music by Nivas K. Prasanna, striking visuals by Ezhil Arasu K, and sharp editing by Sakthi Thiru, Bison promises to be both a cinematic and emotional knockout. The trailer teases not just a gripping sports drama but a film that speaks to identity, resistance, and pride — all through the lens of a kabaddi court.
Scheduled to release on October 17, 2025, coinciding with Diwali.
