Mari Selvaraj's latest Tamil sports drama, Bison Kaalamaadan, hit theaters in Tamil Nadu and other parts of India this Diwali (October 17, 2025), marking Dhruv Vikram's big-screen return since 2019.
The film also stars Pasupathy, Ameer, Lal, and Anupama Parameswaran and dives into caste issues through a gritty sports lens—something Selvaraj is known for.
