Mumbai, July 25 (IANS) The makers of the mythological drama “Mahavatar Narsimha”, Hombale Films, have requested all the netizens to refrain from sharing the clips of the movie online to preserve the cinematic experience for others.

The franchise will incorporate the ten divine avatars of Lord Vishnu: Mahavatar Narsimha (2025), Mahavatar Parshuram (2027), Mahavatar Raghunandan (2029), Mahavatar Dhawkadhesh (2031), Mahavatar Gokulananda (2033), Mahavatar Kalki Part 1 (2035), and Mahavatar Kalki Part 2 (2037).

Made under the direction of Ashwin Kumar, “Mahavatar Narsimha” has been jointly produced by Shilpaa Dhawan, along with Kushal Desai and Chaitanya Desai under Kleem Productions banner.
