Coronavirus effect: Star Plus to air Hotstar shows?

MUMBAI: The world has come to a standstill in the wake of the Coronavirus pandemic. 

With the citizens asked to stay indoors, the entertainment industry too has stopped functioning. Giving safety of the cast and crew more importance, the shoot of television shows has been halted. But, the major question for the channel runners is, what will they air if the shows are not being shot?

TellyChakkar.com exclusively reported yesterday that Zee TV will air reruns of the show. While Colors might bring back Bigg Boss 13 on the 10:30pm slot, a few daily soaps may re-run too.

Now, we have an update about Star Plus shows.

According to our highly placed sources, the programming team has decided that they can re-run the shows of Hotstar on Star Plus.

Since Hotstar and Star Plus are sister properties, there is a high possibility that Star Plus may air Hotstar originals.

Hotstar has varied content on its medium like Criminal Justice, Out of Love, Hostages etc to offer.

We couldn’t connect with the channel’s spokesperson for a comment.

Stay tuned to this space for more updates.
