Animated film Mahavatar Narsimha, backed by Hombale Films, is ruling the roost at the Indian box office and giving tough competition to new releases. The mythological action film, directed by Ashwin Kumar, has already surpassed Rs. 100 crores gross in India, a remarkable and record-breaking feat for Indian animation.
According to the latest media reports, the film’s Hindi version is likely to make its OTT debut on Jio Hotstar. However, the same reports claim that the Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam versions might head to different OTT platforms, depending on regional distribution partnerships. Though an official confirmation is yet to be made, the news reports are going viral.
The Hindi version might not premiere until the third week of September, considering the 8-week theatrical window mandated by the Multiplex Association of India. Will all versions of Mahavatar Narsimha premiere simultaneously, or will there be a time gap in their release? We’ll have to wait and see.
