Jio Cinema’s recent revamp has shaken up the Indian OTT industry, transforming it into a formidable competitor. Once considered a passive platform, Jio Cinema has now emerged as a game-changer, challenging leading OTT platforms like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. Offering free streaming of the IPL and securing rights to sought-after content from HBO, Showtime, Paramount Plus, and Binge, Jio Cinema has taken bold steps to redefine the streaming landscape. Additionally, they have announced approximately 100 Indian Originals, set to premiere in the upcoming months.
Jio Cinema’s audacious moves and groundbreaking content offerings have positioned them at the forefront of the streaming revolution, promising to captivate and enthrall audiences like never before.

Jio Studio and Shahid Kapoor have tantalized their fans with a preview of their upcoming direct-to-digital film, Bloody Daddy. The gory teaser gives viewers a glimpse of the action-packed and blood-soaked film, which is set to debut on June 9th, 2023. The one-minute, fifteen-second clip features Shahid wielding a variety of weapons, including knives, guns, clubs, and even a raw mutton leg, all while dressed in a black suit and an open-collared shirt.

In addition to Bloody Daddy, Jio Studio’s new slate of originals includes Santosh Shivan’s Mumbaikar, which marks Vijay Sethupathy’s Bollywood debut and also features Vikrant Massey in a significant role. The film is an adaptation of the Telugu movie Maanagaram, and was completed in 2021 but did not see a theatrical release due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
