Mari Selvaraj on Bison

In his first collaboration with actor Dhruv Vikram, Mari Selvaraj said in a recent interview to a daily that Bison will be a sports drama that will revolve around kabaddi.

However contrary to the reports that the film will be a biopic on the life of Manathi Gansan, Mari Selvaraj said that Bison will not be a biopic. A fictional tale, he also revealed that the team is currently shooting for a 60-day schedule of the film in Tirunelveli. Once it is wrapped up, Bison's shooting in Chennai will start.

Bison will have music scored by Nivas K Prasanna, in his first collaboration with Mari Selvaraj. It is known that Santhosh Narayanan is a regular collaborator of the director, and speculations arose that the fallout between Santhosh and Pa Ranjith has caused this. However, Mari Selvaraj cleared the air and said that he wanted a fresh voice for the film and hence went with Nivas. Bison will be shot by cinematographer Ezhil Arasu and editor Sakthikumar.
