'Even Disney has all Indian animators': Mahavatar Narsimha producer says Indian animation can rival Hollywood's best
To call Mahavatar Narsimha the most successful Indian animated film does not do justice to just how big a hit it is. The Ashwin Kumar film is all set to cross ₹200 crore at the worldwide box office. The next highest collection for an Indian animation is a mere ₹30 crore (by Rajinikanth's Kochadaiiyaan). Only two other films have ever crossed ₹10 crore. That puts into perspective the achievement of the film. Mahavatar Narsimha has beaten Disney and Marvel films to become the highest-grossing animated film in India. Mahavatar Narsimha's producer speaks out The makers of Mahavatar Narsimha recently held a grand success meet for the film in Mumbai, where the film's producer and Hombale Films co-founder Chaluve Gowda spoke to HT about the success and the road ahead. Gowda says he was always confident the film would do well. 'When we saw the footage for the first time, we knew it was not a cartoon for kids. It's made for grown-ups, too. We wanted to change the perception in India that animated movies are meant for kids. We wanted to take a risk in that aspect. And of course, we believed in the soul, because this is originally an epic Kannada movie that was made 30 years ago. The story was sound, and there was no doubt about the animation, since it was not typical,' he tells us. Prior to Mahavatar Narsimha, the highest-grossing animated film in India had always been one from Hollywood. Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse held the record with its ₹56 crore gross in India, and two Disney/Pixar films followed - Incredibles 2 and Frozen 2. Gowda says their film has proven it can 'compete against the best'. He explains, 'When we get this kind of a reception, it proves that Indian films have an audience. And even for Disney movies, the artists are all Indians. Yes, we had the resources. The technology was there, but someone just had to take that risk and prove that in India, Indian animation movies will also work.' Chaluve Gowda is the co-founder of Hombale Films, the studio behind Mahavatar Narsimha. A word of advice Mahavatar Narsimha's success will likely push others to follow suit. Gowda agrees, 'It will open up a lot of avenues for others to make movies. Earlier, only foreign movies were doing business in India, but when we do this, obviously, the Indian makers will feel confident.' But he does have a word of caution for those makers. 'A lot of animated movies will come after this, and my only word of advice is that everyone shouldn't just follow the trend. They have to do it sincerely.' Mahavatar Narsimha is the first instalment in Hombale's planned animated seven-part Mahavatar Cinematic Universe. It is currently running in theatres.

Goosebumps canceled on Disney+: Here's what's next for David Schwimmer series
Disney+ has officially canceled the Goosebumps series after two seasons, much to the disappointment of fans. The show, based on R.L. Stine's iconic horror book series, aired its second season titled The Vanishing earlier this year. Despite a promising start when the first season premiered in October 2023 - ranking in Nielsen's top 10 original streaming shows for four weeks - the second season failed to maintain the same momentum and did not chart on Nielsen's ratings. Disney+ has canceled Goosebumps after just two seasons, but showrunners are exploring options to air the series in other platforms.(x/@TVCancelBeast) Produced by Sony Pictures Television, Goosebumps was an anthology series featuring different stories and casts each season. The first season starred Justin Long and Isa Briones, while the second featured David Schwimmer in a leading role, alongside Jayden Bartels and Ana Ortiz. To date, the show has amassed over 118 million hours viewed globally, with 75 million hours watched in the US alone. Sony shops series to new homes While Disney+ is stepping away from the series, the future of Goosebumps might not be over just yet. Showrunner Hilary Winston and producer Sony Pictures Television are reportedly exploring options to continue the series elsewhere. With over 200 original Goosebumps stories to draw from, there is ample material for future seasons or spin-offs. Industry insiders reveal that Sony is actively shopping the series to other streaming platforms or networks, hoping to find a new home where the franchise can thrive creatively. The producers are also open to reimagining the property to suit a broader audience or different formats. Hope for fans Goosebumps has enjoyed a long legacy beyond the Disney+ adaptation. The original books by R.L. Stine have inspired several adaptations, including a popular 1990s TV series on Fox and two feature films in the 2010s, with the first directed by Rob Letterman, who also executive produced the recent series alongside Nicholas Stoller. Though the cancellation is a setback, fans of the franchise can take solace in the continued popularity of the books and the creative team's determination to keep Goosebumps alive in new ways. For now, the two seasons remain available on Disney+ as Sony looks for fresh opportunities to revive the eerie anthology.
