About Mahavatar Narsimha

The story of Lord Narasimha's avatar is retold in this new animated film, which was directed by Ashwin Kumar. As demonstrated by Prahlada's unshakable trust in Lord Vishnu in spite of his father's persecution, the movie is renowned for its examination of issues such as faith, dedication, and the victory of good over evil.

 

"Mahavatar Narsimha," which was produced by Kleem Productions in collaboration with Hombale Films, is the first instalment of a planned film series centred on Lord Vishnu's 10 avatars. 

 

Over the next 10 years, several parts like "Mahavatar Parshuram" and "Mahavatar Kalki" are already in the works. Essentially, "Mahavatar Narsimha" can represent the strong Hindu god as well as the powerful animated film that revives his ancient myth for a modern audience.
