He vows to avenge his brother Hiranyaksha's death at the hands of Lord Vishnu's Varaha avatar. To achieve his goals, he adopts the path of austerity and acquires some special powers. He also declares himself to be a god. His young son (Prahlad), however, remains devoted to Lord Vishnu and refuses to acknowledge his authority. The child then remains a devotee despite a threat to his life. This prompts Lord Vishnu's Narsimha avatar to appear and defeat Hiranyakashipu.

Mahavatar Narsimha leaked online: Animated action drama hit by piracy amid blockbuster box office run
Mahavatar Narsimha leaked online: Mahavatar Narsimha, which hit the screens on July 25, has emerged as a sensational blockbuster despite being shot on a modest budget and its lack of star power. It has also received positive reviews. Now, in a shocking development, the animated action drama has been leaked online. This has shocked the industry. Mahavatar Narsimha leaked online Hombale Films, the banner behind Salaar and KGF, is currently in the limelight because of Mahavatar Narsimha. The animated blockbuster has impressed several movie buffs. In the latest development, it has been hit by piracy. According to reports, Mahavatar Narsimha has been leaked online on torrent sites such as Movierulz and Filmyzilla. Moreover, reports state that terms such as 'Mahavatar Narsimha watch online' and 'Mahavatar Narsimha Movierulz' are being widely searched. Piracy is a big problem facing the film industry. Previously, titles such as Pawan Kalyan's Hari Hara Veera Mallu and Naga Chaitanya's Thandel were leaked hours after their release. This takes a toll on the box office performance of the films in question. It also dilutes the efforts put in by those associated with the industry. Supporting piracy can also land one in serious legal trouble and leave one vulnerable to financial fraud. Fans are hence advised from accessing these pirated versions on sites like movierulz. They should, instead, watch Mahavatar Narsimha in theatres only. Mahavatar Narsimha box office performance The leak comes at a time when the film is doing well at the Indian box office. The animated action drama has earned Rs 21.85 crore (nett) in India so far. This is an astonishing figure given the moderate budget of Rs 20 crore and its relatively low key. The exemplary performance can be attributed to the healthy word-of-mouth. Most reviews have praised the visuals and the sincere storytelling. About Mahavatar Narsimha Mahavatar Narsimha is the story of the seemingly unstoppable demon king Hiranyakashipu. He vows to avenge his brother Hiranyaksha's death at the hands of Lord Vishnu's Varaha avatar. To achieve this, he adopts the path of austerity and acquires some awe-inspiring powers. He also declares himself to be a god. His young son (Prahlad), however, remains devoted to Lord Vishnu and goes against his wishes. He then remains a devotee despite facing numerous obstacles. This prompts Lord Vishnu's Narsimha avatar to neutralise Hiranyakashipu and restore balance to the universe. The film marks the beginning of an animated cinematic universe.
