Filmmaker CS Amudhan, known for his Tamizh Padam franchise, spoke highly of filmmaker Mari Selvaraj's latest film Bison Kaalamaadan.
Amudhan took to his X handle to praise the film. He wrote, "Bison is all we want from cinema. Spectacle, goosebumps, adrenaline, transportation, immersiveness & a master puppeteer pulling the strings. It’s a hark back to time-tested storytelling in rejection of mindless moments-seeking madness. Step forward Mari, the crown is now yours." (sic)
Known for directing the hilarious spoof films on Tamil cinema, Tamizh Padam (2010) and Tamizh Padam 2 (2018), Amudhan last made Vijay Antony starrer Raththam in 2023.
