The latest update is the release date. Bison Kaalamaadan will hit theatres on October 17 for Diwali. It is to be noted that Bison was announced long back, but Mari Selvaraj had begun works with Karnan with Dhanush, Maamannan with Udhayanidhi and Vadivelu, which made the project to get pushed. Soon after the release of Mari Selvaraj’s Vaazhai, the filmmaker began working with Dhruv Vikram for the sports drama.

As you wait for Bison to release, there are Tamil sports drama like Kanna and Blue Star which you can stream on OTTplay Premium.
