\n\t\u201cOur portfolio strategy is driven by the belief that India cannot be represented through one kind of story, one language or one cinematic lens,\u201d a Zee Studios spokesperson said. \u201cEvery market has its own audience, talent, creative ecosystem and entertainment sensibility, and our ambition is to reflect that diversity through the films we back.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFrom Hindi, Marathi, Malayalam and Gujarati to Telugu, Tamil, Kannada and other language markets, we are dedicated towards building an unconventional content ecosystem with differentiated storytelling,\u201d the spokesperson added. \u201cFor us, entertainment serves as the backbone for multilingual and multi-genre cinema, blurring the geographical and colloquial boundaries.\u201d<\/p>\n
