Speaking on the sidelines of the event, UTV Global Broadcasting Ltd. executive director Shantanu Aditya said, “Through Shemaroo Entertainment, UTV has got one more avenue to release its 600 titles that are lying in the library.”
UTV intends to exploit these titles by way of theatrical, IPTV rights and home video wherein it plans to open four to five titles every month.
Shemaroo Entertainment director Hiren Gada said, “World Cinema was much smaller a market compared to that of films from Bollywood and Hollywood.
