India's Ele Animations Pvt. Ltd. is adapting its Pogo channel animated series "Jay Jagannath" into a theatrical feature film. The new film is titled "Mahaprabhu Jagannath." According to Variety, this feature film project will serve to launch Ele Animations' "Sanatan Universe."
The animated feature is set for a pan-India theatrical release. The release is planned for more than 300 screens. The film will be available to audiences in three languages: Hindi, Odia, and Telugu. Ele Animations has secured a distribution agreement with Cinepolis to handle the theatrical release.
Lord Jagannath, the subject of both the series and the upcoming film, is a form of Hindu God Vishnu. This deity is venerated across Odisha. The original animated series "Jay Jagannath" airs on the Pogo channel, establishing the source material for the theatrical adaptation.
The title "Mahaprabhu Jagannath" refers to Lord Jagannath, connecting the theatrical feature directly to the deity central to the "Jay Jagannath" television series. The transition from Pogo channel animated series to theatrical feature film represents an expansion of the property's format and distribution reach. The "Sanatan Universe" concept introduced through this film launch suggests a broader content franchise centered on Hindu deities and traditions.
Through the Cinepolis distribution agreement, "Mahaprabhu Jagannath" will reach theaters across India on more than 300 screens. The Hindi, Odia, and Telugu language options for the release position the film for diverse regional audiences throughout the country.
