Mahavatar Narasimha: KGF, Salaar producer brings Hiranyakashyap and Prahlad's epic tale to life, netizens react 'Adipurush walo...'

Ahead of the theatrical release, the makers of "Mahavatar Narsimha" have provided a gripping glimpse of the drama through the trailer. Based on a significant story from Indian history, the project talks about Prahlada, a devoted follower of Lord Vishnu, who faces opposition from his atheist father, Hiranyakashipu, who has been given the blessing of immortality by Lord Brahma.
When he crosses all limits to get rid of his devotee son, Lord Vishnu comes to Prahlada's rescue as his fourth avatar, Narsimha.
