Pan India Production house Hombale Films, the powerhouse behind several recent blockbusters and known for delivering grand, larger-than-life entertainers featuring big stars across the country, has joined forces with Kleem Productions for an ambitious and groundbreaking venture — the Mahavatar Cinematic Universe (MCU). This visionary animated franchise will bring to life the epic saga of the ten divine avatars of Lord Vishnu, reimagined through cutting-edge animation, immersive storytelling, and a cinematic scale never before attempted in Indian mythology-based content.
The Mahavatar Cinematic Universe embarks on a monumental 12-year journey, beginning with Mahavatar Narasimha. Helmed by director Ashwin Kumar and backed by producers Shilpaa Dhawan, Kushal Desai, and Chaitanya Desai, the first installment is set to premiere in a cutting-edge 3D format on July 25, 2025, in five major Indian languages. The film’s teaser, already creating ripples across the internet, offers a glimpse into a world of divine fury, epic battles, and spiritual grandeur.
This cinematic universe will unfold sequentially, avatar by avatar, immersing audiences in timeless stories that have shaped the spiritual and cultural fabric of India for millennia. Following Narasimha, the saga marches forward with Mahavatar Parshuram in 2027, Mahavatar Raghunandan in 2029, Mahavatar Dwarkadhish in 2031, Mahavatar Gokulananda in 2033, Mahavatar Kalki – Part 1 in 2035, and finally Mahavatar Kalki – Part 2 in 2037.
Director Ashwin Kumar added, “We here at Kleem Productions, along with the powerhouse Hombale Films, are excited to bring the heritage of Bharat to the big screen in a never-before-experienced cinematic scale. The transcendental experience begins through the MAHAVATAR universe of Dasha Avatar… Now Bharat will Roar!”
Producer Shilpaa Dhawan echoed the enthusiasm, stating, “The possibilities are ENDLESS, and I’m PUMPED to see our stories ROAR to life on screen! Buckle up for an EPIC cinematic ride!”
An official quote from Hombale Films read, “At Hombale Films, we believe in storytelling that transcends time and borders,” said a spokesperson from Hombale Films. “With Mahavatar, we are proud to present a cinematic universe that brings the sacred avatars of Vishnu to life through breathtaking animation. This is more than a film series — it is our tribute to India’s spiritual legacy.”
The Mahavatar Cinematic Universe isn’t limited to film alone; it is envisioned as a multi-platform cultural phenomenon. Expanding into comics, immersive video games, digital storytelling, and collectible experiences, the universe will offer fans multiple ways to engage with the epic saga. From graphic novel adaptations to interactive adventures, Mahavatar will bring ancient stories to life across mediums, building a rich world that resonates with today’s audiences across age groups and platforms.
This dynamic partnership of Hombale Films and Kleem Productions aims to deliver a cinematic marvel across various entertainment platforms.
