The next film in line to release as part of Hombale Films' Mahavatar series is Mahavatar Parshuram. The producers made this announcement on X, with a first look at the upcoming film.
"ππππ ππππππ π ππππ, πππ ππππππ πππππ Presenting the next from the Mahavatar Cinematic Universe #MahavatarParshuraam Coming December 2027. Not a ruler, but a force against adharma, restoring balance across ages. Wishing you a blessed," their caption read.
The upcoming film will be directed by Ashwin Kumar, who also directed the previous hit animation feature Mahavatar Narasimha, which was released in 2025.
With a reported haul of βΉ118.5 crore at the Indian box-office, Mahavatar Narsimha turned the tide for Indian animation, paving the way for big, broad-chested experiments that don't just cater to the kiddie market. At a success meet for the film, earlier last year, director Ashwin Kumar expressed his gratitude and shared his plans for the franchise's future.
Ashwin said that the next instalment in the Mahavatar Cinematic Universe, Mahavatar Parshuram, teased at the end of Narsimha, will be completed in two years' time. While adhering to the original 3-D animation format, the second offering in the seven-film franchise will be mounted on a much grander scale, both thematically and technologically, the director promised.
"People have high expectations, so we also need to up our game. We have the tech and the artists to dish it out faster. Two years is what we are looking at. Mahavatar Parshuram will be something never seen before, on a scale that has never been experienced before. That is my promise."
Other films as part of the Mahavatar Cinematic Universe include, Mahavatar Raghunandan (2029), Mahavatar Dhawkadhesh (2031), Mahavatar Gokulananda (2033), and a two-part conclusionβMahavatar Kalki Part 1 (2035) and Part 2 (2037). The films in this universe will be produced by Hombale Films, in collaboration with Kleem Productions.
