‘Mahavatar Narsimha’ to premiere at IFFI’s Indian panorama
'Mahavatar Narsimha', an animated film directed by Ashwin Kumar, will premiere at IFFI's Indian Panorama, marking it as the only unreleased Hindi film in this prestigious section.
Actor Naga Chaitanya, who is following in the footsteps of his father Nagarjuna, expressed his enthusiasm about his first OTT debut in the supernatural suspense-thriller ‘Dhootha’ and shared the guidance he received from his dad.
Speaking to the media on the red carpet of the 54th IFFI, Naga Chaitanya said, “One piece of advice, I think the dad has always told me to be true to yourself because that’s how they created a fan base for themselves. Be unique… So, he always says it’s okay even if you fall and make mistakes because mistakes are what teach you the best.”

Sharing his excitement about his OTT debut, the actor said, “A lot of exciting moments. It’s (Dhootha) my first OTT debut. Very excited about it… I always decided that when I do OTT, I definitely want to come out of my comfort zone as an actor versus what I’ve been doing for the big screen. So when Vikram came to me with a supernatural thriller, something I’ve not done, and it is something he does so well, which I’m a fan of, so it was such a win-win situation. I think the approach, the art is the same. It’s just that in OTT, I think you have eight episodes of 40 minutes. That’s a lot of screen time to tell each character. So there’s the approach of unfolding layers in the character. I think that was the main difference.”
