## The Mahavatar Cinematic Universe — A 12-Year Indian Animation Epic

This is not just one film — it is the most ambitious animated franchise ever attempted in India. In June 2025, the filmmakers announced plans to expand into a larger animated franchise, the Mahavatar Cinematic Universe, based on the avatars of Vishnu. Director Ashwin Kumar and Kleem Productions, in association with Hombale Films, revealed a 12-year plan to adapt the Dashavatar in an interconnected series of 3D animated films, planning new installments every two years from 2025 to 2037.

The full release roadmap is as follows: Mahavatar Narsimha (2025), Mahavatar Parshuram (2027), Mahavatar Raghunandan (2029), Mahavatar Dwarkadhish (2031), Mahavatar Gokulananda (2033), Mahavatar Kalki Part 1 (2035), and Mahavatar Kalki Part 2 (2037). Beyond films, the MCU will expand into comic books and a mythology-based gaming experience titled Mahavatar Brahmand.

The pedigree behind this universe is hard to argue with. Directed by Ashwin Kumar, Mahavatar Narsimha became India’s biggest animated hit ever and secured a place on the eligibility list for the Best Animated Feature category at the 98th Academy Awards. [OdishaTv](https://odishatv.in/entertainment/mahavatar-parshuram-unveiled-hombale-films-reveals-next-chapter-in-mahavatar-universe-11743737) That is the benchmark being set for Mahavatar Parshuram to surpass.
