Mahavatar Narsimha maker on Hrithik Roshan

Mahavatar Narsimha directed by newcomer Ashwin Kumar is releasing on 25 July 2025. The film happens to kickstart Hombale Films Mythological Cinematic Universe and will continue with  Parshuram (2027), Mahavatar Raghunandan (2029), Mahavatar Dhawkadhesh (2031), Mahavatar Gokulananda (2033), Mahavatar Kalki Part 1 (2035), and Mahavatar Kalki Part 2 (2037).

In the meantime, speaking to scribes, Ashwin Kumar spoke about his future projects. He said  “I will be bringing out 'Ajamila', it's another epic from the Puranas, but it will be live action. 'Mahavatar Narsimha' is a soft way to awaken the soul; that one (Ajamila) is a very hard way to awaken the soul. We will be doing that.”

He continued  “I will tell more about it later, and we will also be doing a film on Ardhnarishwar, which is half Shiva, half Shakti - but this one will be set in a more real-world, modern-day scenario. So it will have a fantasy element too. These are both live-action films.”

About the casting, he added “Not yet. I am scripting it right now, but soon. I have some things in my mind about it. The writing tells you what actor is suited to it. I don't usually write with an actor suited for the role. I have to be true to the story, I have to be true to the screenplay, and the character. So, the character sculpts the actor, that's how I feel it,” and shared  “And then my direction would help the character understand the story and screenplay, and then it meshes into this proper harmony.”

Talking about Hrithik Roshan,he said “Hrithik is a demigod personified, when you look at his structure and his good moves as a dancer. So, I think him playing some sort of fantastical character, apart from the films that he does, is a part of his career. I would want to see him in that kind of a fantastic role.” and continued  “Probably Nataraja, a dancer. A dancer who would create or destroy cosmically,”. Sharing his feelings,he said “No, I think Yash is wonderful as Ravan, he has the look.”
