A Bold New Trend on OTT - End of Exclusivity?
The way that video streaming services manage original material is evolving. They no longer just keep it to themselves. Rather, they are disseminating it across several channels. For instance, Vibhu Agarwal's Atrangii television network airs programming on MX Player and Star Bharat. JioCinema has hindi dubbing of Hoichoi's television series.

It costs money and takes time to create fresh material. Platforms are discovering, therefore, that dubbing into hindi is common. Distributing original material expands the audience for content producers. According to media experts, it facilitates future planning and success measurement.
