JioStar initiates legal measures against Zee entertainment for alleged unauthorised airing of Bollywood films: Report
Billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s Jiostar, the TV and online entertainment venture backed by Reliance and Walt Disney, has launched legal battle against Zee Entertainment, alleging that the broadcaster aired several Bollywood films without authorisation despite JioStar holding the distribution rights, according to a Reuters report.
In its 120-page plea, JioStar, which was created through the $8.5 billion merger of the Indian media assets of Reliance Industries and The Walt Disney Company in 2024, claimed that Zee persists in the “unauthorised broadcast and exploitation of the films”, further calling it a “habitual infringer”.
