About Mahavatar Narsimha
Mahavatar Narsimha is the first of the seven-part Mahavatar Cinematic Universe, based on the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu. The film, backed by Hombale Films, chronicles the exploits of the Narsimha avatar of Lord Vishnu and the tale of Prahlad.
In an interview with HT, director Ashwin Kumar said, “The journey has been a labour of love, completely through and through. Each frame meticulously rendered has been nothing short of a miracle. For it to come together as one harmonious unit is something of a miracle in itself. Nothing of this magnitude has been attempted before in India.”
