Mumbai, April 24

The makers of the upcoming film 'Krishnavataram' unveiled new character posters from the film on Friday. The film is based on the life and legacy of Lord Krishna, and is positioned as a large-scale cinematic venture.

The film introduces a largely unknown ensemble including Siddharth Gupta as Krishna, Sanskruti Jayana as Satyabhama leading the narrative of the film, Sushmita Bhatt as Radha and Nivaashiyni Krishnan as Rukmini.

The film has been conceived as a visually grand and culturally rooted retelling of Lord Krishna's journey, and is designed to appeal to both domestic and international audiences.

Talking about the film, producer Sajan Raj Kurup said, "It is humbling to see the scale of love and attention coming from across the world for 'Krishnavataram'. As a team, it reinforces our belief that if storytelling is authentic, it will find its audience"-

"The response so far suggests that audiences globally are ready for something deeply rooted yet universal. The 'Krishnavataram' franchise is envisioned as a three-part retelling of Krishna's life. It is our attempt to bring India's divine heritage to a global cinematic language without losing its soul. We are also grateful for the path-breaking impact of films like 'RRR' and 'Baahubali,' which have helped open Indian cinema to audiences worldwide", he added.

'Krishnavataram' is presented and produced by Sajan Raj Kurup and Shobha Sant of Creativeland Studios Entertainment along with Poonam Shroff and Parth Gajjar of Athasrikatha Motion Pictures. The film is conceived as the first chapter of a three-part cinematic franchise.

Directed by Hardik Gajjar, the film is set for a worldwide theatrical release on May 7, 2026 in multiple Indian languages, including Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu.

Three-part franchise? That's ambitious! But I hope they don't stretch the story unnecessarily. Also, not thrilled about the casting of Sushmita Bhatt as Radha—some of us still remember her last mythological dud. Let's see if the visual effects can match the epic scale they're promising. The west already has their Marvel, we have Krishna! 🕉️

Finally Indian cinema is getting the budgets to do justice to our epics! RR and Baahubali showed the way, but this is on another level. The fact that they're releasing in multiple languages is smart. But will they include the philosophical depth or just focus on action scenes? Krishna's life is more than just miracles—it's about dharma and wisdom. Praying they get the balance right! 🇮🇳

Honestly bit skeptical. Our filmmakers always promise "visually grand" but deliver cheap CGI. And casting Siddharth Gupta as Krishna? Never heard of him. Hope they don't turn this into another Devdas-style melodrama. The international audience doesn't need everything spoon-fed. But credit where due—May 2026 release gives them time to polish. Waiting and watching…

As someone who grew up listening to Krishna's stories from my grandmother, this feels both exciting and scary. Excited because our culture deserves this treatment, but scared they'll commercialize it. The producer mentioned "authentic storytelling"—let's hope that means staying true to the Bhagavata Purana and not inventing drama for Bollywood masala. Also, Satyabhama as lead? Interesting choice! 💫
