Film synopsis
Film explores story of Prahlada, Hiranyakashipu, and Lord Vishnu
The film, produced by Shilpaa Dhawan, Kushal Desai, and Chaitanya Desai, delves into the well-known tale of Prahlada and his cruel, stern father Hiranyakashipu. Despite being granted near-immortality by Lord Brahma, the king's attempts to harm his devout son fail. When his cruelty reaches new heights, Lord Vishnu intervenes in his fierce fourth avatar form as Narsimha and protects Prahlada. The film has been released in five Indian languages.
