Actress Anupama Parameswaran had her last outing in Tamil earlier this year in the coming-of-age film Dragon crafted by Ashwath Marimuthu with actors Pradeep Ranganathan, and Kayadu Lohar in lead roles. The siren actress is now gearing up for yet another release in the upcoming flick titled Bison. Actor Dhruv Vikram, who last entertained audiences in Karthik Subbaraj’s Mahaan, has headlined the project.
Director Mari Selvaraj, who crafted the remarkable film Pariyerum Perumal, has written and directed the project. Malayalam actress Rajisha Vijayan of Sardar fame has depicted a key role in the project. The entertainer is currently in the post production stage. The makers have already announced that the drama will make it to theaters for Deepavali of this year on 17th of October.
Actress Anupama Parameswaran recently sat down for an interview with a leading YouTube channel. Speaking about her upcoming film Bison she said, “Bison will be one of the most special and important films in my career. It is a beautiful movie with a powerful story. I think it will be one of Mari sir’s best works. His debut project Pariyerum Perumal had a profound impact on me. In fact, I became his fan after watching it.”

Talking further she revealed, “I was supposed to be part of Pariyerum Perumal. Sadly, I could not take up the role as I had other commitments. Later I deeply regretted that I missed a good opportunity. He then approached me for Maamannan. Even at that time I was busy. So, when he rang me for Bison, I was really thrilled and agreed immediately.”
Disclosing about her experiences in working in the venture, she stated, “Mari sir has a different working style. For instance, I never did an acting workshop before in my career. But for Bison, I went to the location of the shoot to interact with people there and study their body language and intonations. It was a very delightful and grounding experience. My experiences from the movie have helped me evolve as an actor.”
Bison is touted to be a sports drama based on Kabbadi inspired by the life of Arjuna award recipient Manathi Ganesan. Apart from Dhruv Vikram, Anupama Parameswaran, and Rajisha Vijayan, the star cast of the drama also has Malayalam actor Lal, Pasupathy, Madhan Dhakshinamoorthy, Aruvi Madhanand, Azhagam Perumal Kalaiyarasan, and Hari Krishnan Anbudurai essaying various supporting roles.
