SC to hear plea against Orissa HC stay on 'Mahaprabhu Jagannath' film

The development comes a day after the Shree Jagannath Temple Managing Committee (SJTMC) urged the makers to postpone the film's release, alleging that it presents a fictional version of the deity's life that is inconsistent with Hindu scriptures. The appeal was made by Gajapati Maharaja Dibyasingha Deb, the titular king of Puri and chairman of the SJTMC, the highest decision-making body of the 12th-century Jagannath Temple.
