Odisha's First Animated Film Mahaprabhu Jagannath Set for August 28 Release After Supreme Court Clearance
The animated film Mahaprabhu Jagannath, Odisha's first feature of its kind, faced a legal challenge that delayed its release from July 17 to August 28. The Orissa High Court issued an interim stay following a PIL questioning the film's content, but the Supreme Court later cleared its nationwide release, citing its CBFC 'U' certification. Produced by Durga Prasad Dalai and distributed by Cinepolis, the film aims to promote devotion and cultural values among children and families across India.
