Tamil filmmaker Mari Selvaraj, renowned for creating socially conscious cinema, recently spoke at the success meet of his latest film, Bison. Released in Tamil on October 17 as a Diwali special, the Telugu version premiered later due to stiff competition at the box office. Since its release, Bison has garnered positive word of mouth, with several theatres reporting full houses and audiences appreciating its storytelling, though some critics shared mixed opinions on social media.
Addressing questions about his choice of themes, Selvaraj emotionally stated, “Don’t ask why I take these kinds of films. It affects me heavily. I am very adamant that I will make films addressing caste issues. There are 300 films being made purely for entertainment. Leave me alone.” He emphasized that cinema should either entertain or educate, and while mainstream entertainment is abundant, films that tackle social issues are rare.
Following the success of his debut Pariyerum Perumal and Karnan, Selvaraj continues his commitment to socially relevant storytelling with Bison, blending entertainment with meaningful commentary. The film stars Dhruv Vikram, Pasupathy, Ameer, Lal, Anupama Parameswaran, Rajisha Vijayan, and others, and is produced by Sameer Nair, Deepak Segal, P.A. Ranjith, and Aditi Anand under Applause Entertainment and Neelam Studios.
