Kanccha Lannka Unveils First-Look Poster of Mega Web Series ‘Shree Jagannath’
Bhubaneswar: Odisha’s premium OTT platform Kanccha Lannka has unveiled the first-look poster of its most ambitious original web series, “Shree Jagannath,” marking a significant milestone for the Odia entertainment industry.
The mega series, which will premiere simultaneously in Odia and Hindi, is being positioned as a grand tribute to Lord Jagannath and is expected to reach millions of devotees across the globe.
The multi-season epic aims to bring alive the spiritual grandeur of Shree Jagannath and the sacred city of Puri, one of Hinduism’s four revered Char Dham pilgrimage sites, on an unprecedented scale.
The first season will comprise 20 episodes and will chronicle the origins of the Jagannath tradition. It begins with the secret worship of Lord Neelamadhab by Sabar King Biswabasu in the Nilagiri caves and follows the journey leading to King Indradyumna’s construction of the Jagannath Temple and the consecration of the divine sibling deities. The first season is scheduled to begin streaming in October, while subsequent seasons will explore the temple’s history and legacy in greater depth.
A key highlight of the project is its use of technology. According to the makers, “Shree Jagannath” is the first full-length web series in the Odia entertainment industry to be produced extensively using Artificial Intelligence (AI). It will also be the first production on Kanccha Lannka to launch simultaneously in Odia and Hindi, with plans to release the series in several other languages in the future.
Speaking on the occasion, Akshay Parija, Chairman of Kanccha Lannka, said, “‘Shree Jagannath’ is not just a web series for us; it is a heartfelt offering. Our aim is to present the glory of Mahaprabhu Jagannath and the timeless human values associated with Him through advanced technology while preserving authenticity, sensitivity and grandeur. We are confident this sacred story will resonate with audiences not only in Odisha but across India and beyond.”
Kanccha Lannka has established itself as one of Odisha’s leading OTT platforms for original regional content. The platform has recorded over two million app downloads across 17 countries and has produced successful web series such as “Gangs of Puri” and “Barang 1999.” It is available on Google Play Store, Apple App Store, Android TV, Apple TV, JioTV and Jio Set-Top Box, among other distribution platforms.
The announcement of “Shree Jagannath” has generated considerable excitement among audiences, with the series expected to become one of the biggest and most ambitious digital productions ever created in Odisha.
