Director Ashwin Kumar, producer Shilpaa Dhawan, Chaluve Gowda of Homebale Films and eminent distributor Anil Thadani attended the success press meet of their surprise animated blockbuster, Mahavatar Narsimha.
The success press conference of this devotional film was held at Mumbai’s ISKCON Temple. Chaluve Gowda analyzed what worked for the film and also answered how he feels that their film thwarted the run of another blockbuster film, that is, Saiyaara.
Chaluve Gowda said, the story was not new, but the way the animation was done (in Mahavatar Narsimha), especially in the last 20-25 minutes, it was no less than a live action movie.”
Chaluve Gowda continued, “This is what made the film different. It was no longer a film just for the kids. We had confidence in the movie. The intention was not to take away the success of other films. But the content was so good that it managed to run successfully. Also, I feel that the other films have done their business. Those films were showing a slowing trend.”

Director Ashwin Kumar said the film emphasizes universal themes of love and faith, rather than promoting religious conversion.
He Also said that the success of “Mahavatar Narsimha” is seen as a turning point for the Indian animation industry, demonstrating the potential for both creative and commercial success with original Indian stories.
The film is the first in a planned seven-part cinematic universe based on the ten avatars of Lord Vishnu which all will be made in animation only.
The press conference highlights the film’s success as a celebration of faith and spirituality, with audiences praising the experience of encountering the divine through the film.
