Mumbai, Aug 21 (SocialNews.XYZ) The much-awaited animated film “Mahaprabhu Jagannath” is set to bring the divine world of Lord Jagannath to the big screen on August 28.
The film will arrive in cinemas on the auspicious occasion of Raksha Bandhan and Balram Jayanti, adding a spiritual touch to the festive celebrations. On Friday, the makers took to social media to announce the releaser date of the film.
Speaking about the release, Durga Prasad Dalai, producer of Mahaprabhu Jagannath, said in a statement, “There are certain moments that feel like they have been decided for you. After everything this film has gone through, to finally see Mahaprabhu Jagannath reaching theatres on Raksha Bandhan and Balaram Jayanti feels like his blessing.”
“Balaram Jayanti is a deeply significant occasion. We have always wanted to make a film that allows children and families to experience the world of Mahaprabhu Jagannath together, and there could not be a more beautiful time for that journey to begin. We have done our part with complete faith and sincerity, and now we leave the film in Mahaprabhu’s hands.”
Balaram Jayanti, which marks the birth anniversary of Lord Balaram, the elder brother of Lord Krishna, is observed on the full moon day of Shravan and holds deep religious and cultural significance.
