On Wednesday, the OTT platform took to its official social media handles to announce its global expansion. In addition to drama and film access, viewers will be able to tune in to content from JioStar television channels including Star Plus, Colors, Star Vijay, Asianet, Star Jalsha and Star Pravah through a Before-TV feature.
They will also receive early access to content from JioStar television channels (including Star Plus, Colors, Star Vijay, Asianet, Star Jalsha and Star Pravah) through a Before-TV feature. In a statement, JioHotstar stated that the service is designed to resonate deeply with the South Asian diaspora while appealing to a broader global audience. Unfortunately, JioStar holds the Indian rights for the immensely popular Indian Premier League cricket tournament and other sports matches and hence will not be part of the international launch.
