Bob Iger faces India dilemma as Disney weighs options for Star

Loss of IPL cricket streaming rights and global restructuring means a deal may be done

Some interesting quotes from the article.

Honestly despite all the good excuses drawn in the article, Hotstar is a lost cause if most of your userbase just uses the app for cricket, you'd have the entirety of ESPN (like in south America) and people wouldn't still use its full potential wasting tonnes of money in returnless sports rights. Even with your global premieres and blockbusters if the population doesn't watch them and just sees the local content it's just better to shut it down and sell the adequate licenses locally. Doubt many people in India watches or wait for new The Mentalist or Will Trent episodes with eagerness.

I meant they still need to go through all those CCI only then the deal will be done. Also they need to annonce it.

RIL sold bond worth 2.4Billion$ for cash

IMO RIL should let Disney Star die instead of bailing them out by paying $5 or $8 Billion.

But the people with RIL now are ex-Star.
If they can get back to the star brand, they can run it like old days.
