Directed by Amar Kaushik, Mahavatar will retell the ancient legend of Chiranjeevi Parashurama. Vicky Kaushal will play the lead role in this mythological epic. Talking about the film, writer Niren Bhatt revealed the prep he did for Mahavatar. The film is scheduled for Christmas 2026 release.
"It tells the story of Bhagwan Parashurama, who was the sixth incarnation of Lord Vishnu. There are lots of references from Bhagavata Purana and 11 other scriptures. There are ancient texts that you can read in libraries, but people don’t read them. They are used mostly for pujas," he said.
The writer further mentioned that one needs to be accurate while writing a mythological film. "You can’t go wrong with either genre. I have already read ancient plays and 11 novels on Parashurama to get all the details right," added Niren.
