Vetrimaaran's Bison Praise: A Deep Meditation on Resistance and Resilience

On Friday, the makers of the film, while thanking director Vetrimaaran for his appreciation of the film, shared what the director had to say after watching their film.

Vetrimaaran, while appreciating the film, said, "Bison is a deep meditation that reflects resilience and resistance. Dhruv Vikram delivers a raw and unforgettable performance, anchored by powerful metaphors.

"The bison skeleton as a symbol of strength and survival, kabaddi as a representation of the fight for dignity and running on paths laden with obstruction all signify relentless struggle.The calm-yet-explosive Bison mirrors Kittan's suppressed fury; while shifts between black-and-white and colour reflect loss, memory, and hope."

Vetrimaaran is the latest celebrity to shower praises on director Mari Selvaraj's critically acclaimed sports drama, featuring Dhruv Vikram and Anupama Parameswaran in the lead.

It may be recalled that only recently, Superstar Rajinikanth had congratulated Mari Selvaraj, saying his hard work and proficiency had left him impressed!
