About Mahavatar Narsimha (2025)

Mahavatar Narsimha is a 2025 Indian animated epic mythological action film directed by Ashwin Kumar in his directorial debut, written by Jayapurna Das, produced by Kleem Productions, and Hombale Films. The film is the first instalment in the planned animated seven-part Mahavatar Cinematic Universe, based on the ten avatars of Bhagavan Vishnu.

The film chronicles the Mahaan avatars (divine incarnations) of Bhagwan Vishnu - Varaha and Narsimha. Varaha, a mighty boar, rescues Bhudevi (Mother Earth) from the Asura (demon) Hiranyaksha. After his victory, the story shifts to Hiranyakashipu, Hiranyaksha’s brother, who gains a boon, declares himself god, and oppresses Vishnu’s followers. Prahlad, his son and devoted follower of Vishnu, remains faithful despite his father’s threats. To save Prahlad and defeat evil, Vishnu appears as Narsimha, a half-man, half-lion form, who kills Hiranyakashipu while honoring the conditions of the demon’s boon from Bhagwan Brahma. Blending two major episodes from the Dashavatara, Mahavatar Narsimha explores themes of divine justice, unshakable faith, and the eternal promise of protection to the righteous.

The soundtrack and background score were composed by Sam C. S., with editing handled by Ajay Varma and Ashwin Kumar himself.
