"This is an initiative to introduce our subscribers to global cinema and the world of Korean art that is already becoming widely popular in India. We have always provided the viewer with the best of content across languages, and we aim to dub the films in additional Indian languages going forward to make it accessible to our ‘atrangi' subscribers," said Aparna Acharekar, Programming Head, ZEE5 India, the platform that plans to bring Korean films to the Indian OTT space.
"We already have four Korean shows on the platform that have had a great run. Ten films and a Korean drama series will add to our existing library and we will constantly be on the lookout for more such content," Acharekar added.
