The group will launch the Marathi news channel Zee 24 Hours and produce meaningful films
AT the recently held Zee Gaurav Awards, chairman Subhash Chandra announced the launch of Zee 24 Hours, the first Marathi news channel after the success of its Marathi language channel Zee Marathi. Zee 24 Hours is expected to strike a chord with the viewers across Maharashtra.
The second announcement was the channel’s entry into film production. Zee Network has decided to provide financial stamina to producers of meaningful cinema.
The network has selected five production houses—Mahesh Manjrekar’s Ashvami Films, Gautam Joglekar’s SOC, Shrirang Godbole’s Indian Magic Eye, Smita Talwalkar’s Asmita Chitra and Rakesh Sarang’s Cams Club.
In the next two years, these filmmakers are to present 15 Marathi films to the network, three films each.
“After the making of the film, the responsibility of its marketing, distribution and telecast (for Indian and overseas territories) shall be the responsibility of the Zee Group.
