The company revealed that it is planning to revamp the Hotstar app to bring it closer to the Disney Plus app in terms of the user interface. While Disney Plus in India is set to launch, the company will also rebrand different subscription plans in India.
After Netflix bringing the subscription plans to dirt cheap prices, the OTT platform has not left much for other players to play with the prices. But for Disney app, the team is looking forward to playing with the kind of movies and TV shows on its platform.
