Tamil filmmaker Mari Selvaraj, known for his focus on caste oppression and social issues, is once again at the center of debate with his latest film Bison, starring Dhruv Vikram. The movie, released last week, aims to highlight the continued caste-based humiliation and violence faced by marginalized communities. However, it has also sparked controversy, with certain groups protesting the film and claiming that its narrative incites casteism.
During a success meet in Chennai, Mari Selvaraj made an emotional appeal to the audience, requesting that people stop asking why he repeatedly makes films centered on caste discrimination. The Karnan director expressed that such questions have deeply affected him and his work. He pointed out that while over 300 films focusing purely on entertainment are released every year, he seeks the freedom to continue creating films driven by conviction and social commentary.
Despite his intentions, Mari Selvaraj’s remarks received criticism from sections of the Tamil audience. Many feel that his repeated focus on caste-based narratives may lead to saturation and fatigue, while some questioned his motives, wondering whether he is pushing a personal agenda under the guise of creativity. The debate highlights the fine balance filmmakers must strike between social messaging and audience engagement.
