Over the last few years, the OTT space has only gotten very strong. Especially with the boom of so much content, every OTT giant has been acing their game in bringing to us the best of content and 2022 seems to have been a golden year for Disney Plus Hotstar. After the super successful Koffee With Karan Season 7, the platform has managed to get its viewers hooked on the biggest global show, House Of The Dragon on their platform. From what it looks like, Disney Plus Hotstar’s upward ascent will also continue in 2023 for they have some of the biggest shows on their lineup. At the global Disney fan event D23 Expo, they announced 3 Indian titles that we will see on their space next year. Amongst those is Karan Johar-hosted and Dharmatic-produced Koffee With Karan Season 8. KJo will also be producing Showtime, and Madhu Mantena will be producing Mahabharata which will stream on the platform.
Now that is surely a huge feat, I say, and talking about the same, Karan Johar says…
I am excited to associate with Disney+ Hotstar for our new collaboration, announced at the prestigious D23 Expo. In addition to yet another exciting season of my beloved show, Koffee With Karan (Season 8), happy to announce an all-new Dharma Production series, Showtime, which will lift the curtain on India’s entertainment industry’s biggest trade secrets.
Other than this the mythological epic Mahabharata will also leave us mesmerized and commenting on the same Madhu Mantena says…
For centuries Indian epics have captured the imagination of billions around the world. These epics are deeply woven into the very fabric of our nation. The Mahabharata – one of the oldest epics in India, despite being as old as time, is still relevant today for the many lessons and words of wisdom hidden within its ancient verses. It is said that every known emotional conflict experienced by mankind finds form in Mahabharat through its complex characters and storylines. We at Mythoverse are absolutely delighted to have this opportunity provided by Disney+ Hotstar to bring out a rendition of this great Indian epic Mahabharata and for announcing this news on a prestigious global platform at the D23 Expo.
Well, the Koffee is ready to brew, secrets from the entertainment world will be ready to spill, and the battle of dharma-adharma between the Kaurava and Pandava princes will surely have us all glued to the platform 24X7. I am excited to consume all the amazingness coming my way.
