Drawing from the Vishnu Purana, Narasimha Purana, and Shrimad Bhagavat Purana, we have stayed true to the original sources to present a story that resonates with all generations. I wanted to preserve these stories not as myths but as part of our collective history and consciousness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The film portrays the epic conflict between the demon king Hiranyakashipu, who seeks vengeance against Lord Vishnu, and his son Prahlad whose unwavering faith compels the Lord to appear as Narsimha avatar. Explaining his personal connection to the story, the Director said, \u201cDuring the dark phase in my life, I found strength in these stories. Prahlad\u2019s faith and resilience inspired me to create this film; I hope that it will be an anchor of hope for others.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The film \u2018Mahavatar Narsimha\u2019 aims to raise the bar for Indian animation, offering a cinematic experience that appeals to all age groups. With life-like animation and meticulous detailing, it took four and a half years to create this film. Producer Shilpa Dhawan said, \u201cThis project is a celebration of our heritage. We aim for it to reach households worldwide to showcase the richness of Indian culture.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Addressing the notion that animation in India is primarily for children, Ashwin Kumar said, \u201cwe wanted to challenge this perception and create a film for everyone. No one believed in our vision initially, but we\u2019ve proven that Indian VFX and animation can be of world-class quality.\u201da<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Mahavatar Narsimha\u2019 is just the beginning of a larger vision. The team plans to explore all the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu through a series of projects, including video games, comics, web series and live-action films. \u201cThis is not just a movie, it\u2019s a legacy. Art that is rooted in research and depth resonates deeply and we are committed to uphold this standard in our future endeavours,\u201d the Director said.<\/p>\n<p>Kumar hopes the youth will connect with the story. \u201cThe conflict between truth and power, faith and doubt, is timeless. I believe this story will resonate with young audiences as they navigate their own challenges\u201d, he added.<\/p>\n<p>Blending modern storytelling with the wisdom of ancient scriptures, \u2018Mahavatar Narsimha\u2019 is sure to redefine how mythological stories are told on screen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Goa Khabar : One of the most ambitious animated films, &#8220;Mahavatar Narsimha&#8221; had its world premiere yesterday at the 55th\u00a0International Film Festival of India (IFFI), marking a historic milestone in Indian cinema.
