Odisha's government has asked the Supreme Court to delay the release of Mahaprabhu Jagannath, an animated movie about Lord Jagannath.
The film had already been approved for a nationwide launch on or after July 28 by India's film board and a panel of judges, right after the famous Jagannath Yatra festival.
