Earlier, Bloomberg reported that JioCinema is planning to bulk up its content with more than 100 films and TV shows to take on global giants like Netflix and Prime Video.

In an interview with Bloomberg, Reliance's media and content business president, Jyoti Deshpande, said the content addition will be rolled out before the end of the IPL on May 28.

Deshpande said the plan is to "keep tariffs simple for viewers". Currently, the streaming space "is dominated by westernised content. Jio Studios wants to become a catalyst for the cross-pollination of talent. We want it to get as Indian as it can," she told Bloomberg.

JioCinema has claimed that the platform has seen 5.5 billion unique video views in the first week. It also said that the Chennai Super Kings versus Rajasthan Royals match on JioCinema drew a record-breaking 22 million concurrent viewers on April 12, 2023.
