Actually This is a good move by Hotstar. Their first movie Sanak for which they did not have satellite control has performed well for them. Realizing the potential I think this is the perfect deal. Also Sony which was suffering a drought of Akshay Kumar movies has gained 2 Akshay Kumar films in a single year and most probably if the merger works out it would be the first time that Sony (indirectly) would get all the Akki releases of the year. Glad job I didn't update the table for Atrangi Re
