"The Chosen Is for All, Beyond Language and Culture": Auxiliary Bishop Satis Kumar of Bangalore

Bangalore, 11 April 2025: As the sacred season approaches, Auxiliary Bishop Fr. Arokia Raj Satis Kumar is inviting the faithful to witness a deeply moving portrayal of Christ’s final hours in the upcoming film, The Chosen: Last Supper. Set to release in cinemas across India in April 2025, this powerful cinematic experience is more than just a film — it is a spiritual encounter.

An Invitation to Walk with Christ

“When was the last time we experienced Jesus Christ on the big screen?” the bishop asks in a heartfelt message. “This is not just a movie. It is an invitation — to journey, to reflect, and to be present with the Lord in His last hours.”

The film will be screened in major cities including Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Delhi, offering people from different parts of the country the chance to participate in this profound Lenten reflection.

Emphasising the importance of family and community, Bishop Satis Kumar urges: “Let us all go together with our families to watch it and be a part of this experience. We too are eager to watch this film. So we invite you to join in with your families as well.”

A Message Beyond Borders — For All Languages and Cultures

To make the invitation more accessible, the bishop has also released a special video message in Kannada, warmly welcoming people of all languages and culture to come together and witness this unique cinematic portrayal of the Last Supper. His message carries the universal spirit of Christ’s love — one that transcends language, culture, and geography.

“Let us use this moment — this sacred time — to celebrate meaningfully, by becoming partakers in the final moments of Jesus Christ,” he shares, encouraging viewers to embrace the film as a source of reflection and renewal during the holy season. He concludes with a prayerful blessing: “Watch this film, receive its experience and its blessings. May God lead and bless you all.”

As Holy Week draws near, The Chosen: Last Supper offers a rare and powerful opportunity to encounter Jesus — not just in the pages of Scripture, but on the big screen, in the heart of the city, and within the stillness of our hearts.
