Animated Film Mahaprabhu Jagannath Set for September 4 Theatrical Release After Ban
The animated film Mahaprabhu Jagannath faced a temporary release ban in July due to objections from the Shree Jagannath Temple Administration over its portrayal of Lord Jagannath. The Supreme Court initially denied release during the Rath Yatra festival but allowed it after July 28. The film is now scheduled to release in theatres on September 4, coinciding with Janmashtami, with a special media screening planned for September 3 in Delhi. The film runs for 1 hour 44 minutes, and tickets are available online.
