Chennai, Oct 9 (IANS) The makers of director Mari Selvaraj’s eagerly-awaited sports drama ‘Bison Kaalamaadan’, featuring actor Dhruv Vikram in the lead, on Thursday released the track ‘Kaalamaadan Gaanam’ from the film, much to the delight of fans and film buffs.

The song, a foot tapping folk number, has lyrics by director Mari Selvaraj and set to tune by Nivas K Prasanna. The song has been rendered by V.M.Mahalingam.

The song starts off with a poem by director Mari Selvaraj, which when translated in English reads, “Innumerable unanswerable questions fenced me and arose around as a tall wall. Violently I dashed my head against it. As I dashed on and on ferociously, piercing through the flesh, horns sprout out. As the innocents near me with tears, as the strong oppose me with swords, from within me soars a Kaalamaadan.”

It may be recalled that the censor board has already cleared the film for release with a U/A certificate. The film is scheduled to hit screens on October 17 this year.

The makers of the film had released the first look of ‘Bison’ in March this year. The film has been produced by Applause Entertainment in collaboration with director Pa Ranjith’s Neelam Studios.

Sources close to the unit of the film say that ‘Bison’ will be an electrifying sports drama. Dhruv Vikram plays a kabaddi player in the film, alongside Anupama Parameswaran.

Sources also say that the film is inspired by true events and brings to life a gripping tale of passion, resilience, and triumph against all odds.

Packed with raw energy and Mari Selvaraj’s signature storytelling, ‘Bison’, they say, will be a landmark Tamil film that will leave audiences inspired and exhilarated.

The film’s lead actor, Dhruv Vikram, who has had to make a herculean effort to play the role, had posted an emotional post on Instagram about working on this film when the shooting for this film was wrapped up.

He wrote, “After years of preparation, several months of filming, shedding blood, sweat and tears, it’s finally a wrap on ‘BISON’. The process of shooting and prepping for this film has changed my life. Thank you @mariselvaraj84 Sir for fortifying my soul and giving me an experience of a lifetime.”

The film, which features Anupama Parameswaran as the female lead, also stars Lal, Pasupathy, Rajisha Vijayan, Hari Krishnan, Azhagam Perumal, Aruvi Madhanand and Kalaiyarasan in pivotal roles.
