Film can't release as it may hurt sentiments: HC
The Orissa High Court had restrained the release of Mahaprabhu Jagannath on Wednesday, arguing that while freedom of speech is a constitutional right, it cannot be exercised in a manner that disturbs religious sentiments.
The court noted that releasing the film during the ongoing Rath Yatra without implementing changes suggested after a special screening would be "counterproductive."
In defense, producers argued that their film carries a disclaimer stating it is not based on historical or religious facts.
