The sports thriller film 'Bison' continues its triumphant run in theaters, earning widespread acclaim from both critics and audiences alike. Directed by Mari Selvaraj and featuring Dhruv Vikram in a leading role, the movie tells an inspiring story of a young man overcoming caste and social barriers to achieve greatness.
The Real Story Behind Bison's Creation
