Behind this is the hard work of the team associated with it, which Ashwin Kumar has told in his interview on a YouTube channel named Mana Stars.

Intresses related to ‘Mahavatar Narasimha’

Ashwin Kumar, director of this film, explained the entire process of making a film in the interview. He told how hard he had to work to make this film. Also explained how to show such a good emotion in the film’s animated characters.

Ashwin Kumar says, “This was a big challenge, it used to take about 2 weeks to make a second of the film.”

Ashwin explains, ‘There are 24 images in a second and one of these images used to take 4-10 hours to render. In this way it used to take 2 weeks to make a 1 second video.

Where did the difficulty come while making ‘Mahavatar Narasimha’?

Ashwin Kumar says, ‘The most creative challenge was to bring emotion in characters.

Why ‘Mahavatar Narasimha’ became such a big hit
