About Mahavatar Narasimha
Mahavatar Narasimha is directed by Ashvin Kumar and produced by Shilpa Dhawan, Kushal Desai and Chaitanya Desai under the banner of Claim Productions, presented by Hombale Films. It was released in cinemas in 3D and 2D in Hindi and South Indian languages. Upcoming films like Mahavatar Parashurama and Mahavatar Kalki are already under production, laying the foundation for a mythological franchise that is unlike anything seen in Indian animation till date.
The film has become the highest-grossing animated film in India, beating Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023), Incredibles 2 (2018) and Hanuman (2005). “When we get this kind of reception, it proves that Indian films have their own audience. And even in Disney films, all the actors are Indians. Yes, we had the resources. The technology was there, but someone had to take the risk and prove that Indian animation films can work in India,” Hombale Films co-founder Chaluve Gowda said in an interview to HT.
