Khalid Khan, CEO of India Spark, said: “We observed the growing preference of Indian viewers for Turkish content over the past few years. Recognizing a significant opportunity here, we collaborated with SPI International to dub their content in Hindi. As a viewer, I believe this marks a ground-breaking moment for all of us — it could potentially be the first Turkish channel entirely dubbed in Hindi. Furthermore, FilmBox Arthouse will be a cinephile’s dream. It will offer a collection of timeless classics from legendary directors like Hitchcock, Kurosawa, Fellini and more. Undoubtedly, it’s a treasure trove of on-demand entertainment options for our audience. It was a long time coming, but here it is.” N.K.
