STAR TV has paid Rs 3,851 crore for the deal, much above the amount paid by Nimbus. Evidently, STAR will have to bring in a 25 per cent hike in revenues from its latest acquisition in order to compensate for the difference.
STAR’s taken a brave, considered bet. Indeed, Multiscreen Media (MSM), who bid marginally less than STAR did (Rs 3,700 crore vis-à-vis STAR’s Rs 3,851 crore) could be kicking themselves for having missed out by just Rs 150 crores – that’s about Rs 1.5 crore per match.
Starting 1 April 2012, Star TV has put on air the teaser campaign for the much awaited reality show which will mark the debut of Aamir Khan on television.
