Director Ashwin Kumar's 'Mahavatar Narsimha' will set new standards for Indian animation and VFX

Ashwin Kumar has emphasized that the film aims to reshape perceptions of Indian animation by achieving global standards in quality and storytelling. He stated that the project is not just an animated feature but a tribute to India's rich cultural heritage, presenting the story as part of collective history rather than mythology. The film showcases India's capability in creating animation and VFX on par with international benchmarks.

The story centers on the legendary battle between the demon king Hiranyakashipu, who defies Lord Vishnu, and his devout son, Prahlad, whose unwavering faith leads to Vishnu taking the form of Narasimha. This epic confrontation is set against a backdrop of darkness and chaos, symbolizing the triumph of faith and righteousness.

The film's production spanned over four years, focusing on intricate details and lifelike animation. The recently released motion poster hints at the high stakes and grandeur of the narrative. The film comes from the production house behind blockbusters like KGF, Salaar, and Kantara, further raising expectations.

Ashwin Kumar has described Mahavatar Narsimha as a labor of love, aiming to set new standards for Indian animated films by appealing to a global audience while staying rooted in Indian heritage.

The release date is yet to be announced, but the buzz around the motion poster and the ambitious scale of the project has already generated significant anticipation.
