The animated feature film ‘Mahaprabhu Jagannath’ is set to premiere across more than 300 screens in Hindi, Odia, and Telugu, marking the beginning of the ‘Sanatan Universe’. Produced by Ele Animations Pvt. Ltd., the film adapts the popular Pogo channel series “Jay Jagannath” into a theatrical format, offering a rich exploration of the sacred stories surrounding Lord Jagannath.
Designed to appeal to children through vibrant and engaging visuals, the film also aims to connect emotionally with adult audiences, celebrating faith, heritage, and divine adventure on a grand cinematic scale. This project represents a significant expansion beyond traditional television animation, positioning itself as a cultural and spiritual experience for families.
Ele Animations’ founder and creative head, Durga Prasad Dalai, emphasized that the film is intended not only as entertainment but also as a means to pass on India’s rich cultural heritage and values to younger generations. ‘Mahaprabhu Jagannath’ is the first installment in a larger vision called the Sanatan Universe, which plans to create an interconnected cultural ecosystem encompassing television, music, education, and immersive experiences.
Among the future initiatives are immersive destinations in Puri, a devotional music label, and a live-stream channel from the Puri Jagannath Temple for devotees worldwide. The studio also plans to develop animated series based on other revered deities such as Lord Shiva, Lord Hanuman, and Goddess Durga, alongside innovative formats to make Vedic teachings accessible to youth.
Further official details about the film’s release and related projects are awaited.
