India's JioHotstar today unveiled 25 original titles from the south of the country that will cost more than ₹4,000 crore ($445M).

Indian streaming giant JioHotstar is scaling its South India operations following dramatic audience growth over the past 10 months.

India's JioHotstar plans to invest $444 million over five years to acquire and produce content from south India, an executive said on Monday, as the Walt Disney and Reliance Industries-owned streaming platform seeks to capitalize on growing demand for regional cinema.
