As devotees around the world celebrate Nrsimha Chaturdasi, Director Ashwin Kumar announced the summer release date of Mahavatar Narasimha, a stereoscopic 3D film based on Lord Narasimha. The long-awaited film is set for theatrical release on July 25, 2025. You can watch a promo video here.
Recognized for its historical significance in Indian animation, the film was selected as one of the top five Hindi films at the 55th International Film Festival of India. Distributed by Hombale Films, it will be released in five Indian and several international languages.
The producer of the film, Shilpaa Dhawan, made both skill and financial arrangements for the film which was backed by her unflinching faith toward the Lord in their debut bootstrapped venture fighting through the rough tides of covid and other economic hurdles it bought.
In an earlier interview with ISKCON News, Ashwin said, “Lord Sri Narasimha’s blessings have been our strength and inspiration, and we hope that our film will be a worthy tribute to His and Prahalad Maharaj’s glory. We are humbled and grateful for the opportunity to serve Lord Narsimha through this film,” he said. The filmmaker added, “The Lord’s divine presence has been felt throughout our journey.”
Reflecting on the impact of the process of making the film, Ashwin shared, “Srila Prabhupada has said that art is a window to the spirit world. We have to become mediums. When I embarked on this project, I decided to depend more on the shastras than mere concoctions. Srila Prabhupada, the Lord, and Srimati Radharani blessed me with visions, which I sketched and gave to my studio artists for production. This entire process—of cleansing, meditating, and creating—transformed me.”
