Reliance-Disney launch legal battle against Indian TV rival Zee over Bollywood films
New Delhi: India’s JioStar, the TV and online entertainment venture of Reliance and Walt Disney, has initiated legal measures against rival Zee Entertainment for alleged unauthorised broadcast of Bollywood films it has the rights to, documents show.
Billionaire Mukesh Ambani’s JioStar is the No. 1 player in India’s vibrant $30 billion media and entertainment industry, while Zee, one of India’s oldest media groups, is a smaller rival. They are already locked in a $1 billion arbitration in London over a collapsed cricket licensing deal in 2024.
