Prashant Verma’s first film Hanuman from PVCU (Prashant Verma Cinematic Universe) was a blockbuster hit. After its success, the filmmaker has announced his second project with Nandamuri Balakrishna’s son Mokshagna. Now, on the auspicious occasion of Navratri, the director has launched his third film ‘Mahakali’ from PVCU.
Mahakali will be set in the state of Bengal where Goddess Kali is worshiped by devotees. The film, which is considered to be India’s first female superhero project, will be directed by Pooja Kolluru.
Making the big announcement, Prashant Varma unveiled the title of the film and wrote, “Excited to join hands with @RKDStudios to bring a powerful new force to the universe. Presenting the rise of #MAHAKĀLI – Goddess Kali Avatar, the ultimate destroyer of evil. This Navratri, we are breaking tradition and redefining what a superhero can be.”

Mahakali is the first female superhero film to be made in India. The film is based on the rich cultural background of Bengal. According to a report in Times Now, this strong and socially significant project will have a dark-skinned actress in the lead role who will portray Goddess Kali boldly and refreshingly.
