Raghava Lawrence, who is currently working on a couple of projects in hand which includes his much-anticipated LCU (Lokesh Cinematic Universe) film Benz and Bullet, with his brother Elviin, took some time out to catch the recent animated hit Mahavatar Narsimha in theatres.
He shared a photo of his family and wrote on his X handle that he had a "powerful cinematic experience", connecting with it deeply. "It moved me to tears in many scenes. My biggest thanks to Director Ashwin, producer Hombale Films and the entire crew for bringing this vision into life. I wish the team for continued success," he further said.
Director Ashwin Kumar's latest animated film has been having a dream run in theatres, earning over Rs 120 crore across India. After having an initial release in India on July 25, it was expanded to multiple countries across the world including Sri Lanka, Australia, Malaysia, and across Europe from July 31.
A classic good vs evil story, the mythological story revolves around the well-known Hindu myth of Prahlada, a staunch devotee of Lord Vishnu. His father, Hiranyakashipu—a mighty king and a staunch atheist—is enraged by his son's unwavering faith. Granted near-immortality by Lord Brahma, Hiranyakashipu repeatedly tries to eliminate Prahlada. But when his cruelty reaches its peak, Lord Vishnu intervenes in his fierce fourth incarnation, Narasimha, to protect Prahlada and vanquish the tyrant king.
The film is presented by Hombale Films, backed by Kleem Productions and produced by Shilpa Dhawan, Kushal Desai, and Chaitanya Desai. The film features an original score by composer Sam CS while the screenplay is penned by Jayapurna Das and Rudra Pratap Ghosh.
This film is the first in Hombale Films' ambitious Mahavatar Cinematic Universe which features a slate of animated films based on the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu. The films will be released between 2025 and 2037. The film is now available in 3D formats in Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil, and Malayalam.
