Star India to premiere ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’ in
4K on 3 DTH platforms
It is said cricket and Bollywood are two
religions in our country, and Star India is at it once again
to score big.
After showing seven ICC Cricket World Cup matches in
ultra high definition (UHD/4K), Star India is now set to
premiere first Bollywood movie in 4K on Star Gold.
The Hindi movie channel, which is going to premiere this
year’s biggest hit, Salman Khan-starrer ‘Bajrangi Bhaijaan’
on 11 October in SD and HD, will also be telecasting the
movie in 4K on three major DTH platforms—Videocon
d2h, Tata Sky and Airtel Digital TV.
“It’s a special 4K service for 2 days. Star India is
partnering with DTH players who will have a separate Star
Gold 4K service. It will be the first ever Hindi movie TV
premiere in 4K in the world,” a source said.
However, as this is a one-off event, Star India is not
launching a full-fledged 4K channel, at least not yet.
