The Hindi version of the film was first premiered at the 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI) 2024 under the Indian Panorama section. No one expected at the time that this film would become the most profitable Indian film of 2025.
After the success of Mahavatar Narasimha, there is a high chance we might see more animated versions of famous Indian mythological epics in the near future. Its success also proves once again that making quality content should be the first priority for Indian filmmakers, rather than relying on big stars.
