If all goes as reported, Reliance will merge its media business with Walt Disney’s India business -- giving birth to the country’s largest media and entertainment business. And on the other hand, the conglomerate would also acquire Disney’s entire 30% stake in satellite TV provider Tata Play. But can Reliance replicate the success of Jio in the media industry too? Clearly, the Indian media and entertainment landscape is seeing quite a churn. But even if Reliance seals both the deals, it wouldn’t be a smooth sailing ahead.
