\r\nAshwin Kumar on Mahavatar Parshuram. Mahavatar Narasimha, the animation spiritual film directed by Ashwin Kumar created a sensation capturing the imagination of all across the world.\r\nNow, movie lovers are waiting eagerly for the next part, Mahavatar Parshuram. Now, speaking to scribes, Ashwin Kumar shared an exciting update.\r\nHe said &ldquo;It&rsquo;s already in pre-production and will give audiences an experience they&rsquo;ve never seen before on screen. Parshuram is the real fountainhead of the anti-hero - someone who stood up to set the system right when it went wrong. That&rsquo;s a very powerful story, and we&rsquo;re aiming to go on floors within the next three months, mostly by November.&rdquo;\r\nSpeaking about Mahavatar Narasimha success, he said &ldquo;It definitely boosts my confidence because when you see so much love from people, it makes you feel like you should keep doing things like this. Pressure is only there if I don&rsquo;t know what I&rsquo;m doing - but I already know the next seven films I want to make, so it&rsquo;s very clear in my head.&rdquo;\r\nHe shared &ldquo;The entire last 20&ndash;25 minutes of my film took about a year of creation. When you put in that much time, you realise that making films is like baking a cake. You can&rsquo;t just rush it out of the oven - you need patience, love, and attention. However long it takes to make something beautiful, you have to give it that time. Having said that, yes, we&rsquo;re going to &lsquo;bake&rsquo; seven cakes together (seven films together).&rdquo;\r\nHe made the revelation that not all the films will be animations. He said &ldquo;Not all of these films will be animated. The Mahavatar Cinematic Universe will mostly be animated, but I&rsquo;m also planning two live-action films - one is a horror project, and the other is based on the concept of Ardhanarishvara.&rdquo;\r\n
