His engaging presence, particularly during the ‘Weekend Ka Vaar’ episodes, has been a major draw for viewers tuning in each weekend. This season, however, Salman will not be hosting Bigg Boss OTT. The reason? His schedule is packed with other professional engagements. According to sources, Salman is currently engrossed in preparations for his upcoming film, <keyword id="21269802" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Sikandar" source="keywords">Sikandar</keyword>. Slated for an <keyword id="20551967" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Eid-2025" source="keywords">Eid 2025</keyword> release, the film's shooting is set to commence this month under the direction of AR Murugadoss, with Rashmika Mandanna co-starring alongside Salman. These film commitments have forced Salman to step away from his Bigg Boss hosting duties, paving the way for Anil Kapoor to take over. <div type="twitter" handle="JioCinema" handlename="JioCinema" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1800093329608286595"></div> If existing reports hold true, this hiatus might be temporary, with Salman expected to return for Bigg Boss Season 18. It is likely to kick off in late September or early October this year. Adding to the buzz, internet rumours hint that Bigg Boss 18 might feature an intriguing mix of contestants: nine celebrities and nine commoners. While there has been no official confirmation yet, these rumours suggest that the makers are planning a blend of familiar faces and fresh personalities. Should this come to pass, it will be fascinating to see Salman Khan interact with such a diverse group of contestants when he returns to his hosting role. But for now, all eyes are on Anil Kapoor as he steps into the Bigg Boss limelight, promising to bring his jhakaas flair to the hosting duties. Bigg Boss OTT 3 streaming begins exclusively on JioCinema Premium on June 21, 9 pm.

The impact of losing IPL rights was immediately visible in Disney+ Hotstar’s subscriber base. The platform lost 3.8 million subscribers in the December quarter, bringing down its total paying customers to 57.5 million.

During Qualifier 2 of the <keyword id="12648502" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="IPL-2023" source="Orion">IPL 2023</keyword>, JioCinema recorded over 2.57 crore concurrent viewers witnessing the sensational century by Shubhman Gill in the first innings between Gujarat Titans and Mumbai Indians. Disney's Hotstar, the former digital streaming partner of the IPL, drew over 2.5 crore simultaneous viewers for a cricket match in July 2019, a record that stood unbroken for several years. Moreover, on April 17, about 2.4 crore viewers came together to watch M.S. Dhoni's CSK defend against a high-octane run chase from Royal Challengers Bangalore with bated breath at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium. This record was set after bettering the one set on April 12 of a peak concurrency touching 2.2 crore, again when Dhoni almost pulled off another heist against Rajasthan Royals. JioCinema continues to set global benchmarks in the world of digital sports viewing as it clocked over 1,500 crore video views in the first seven weeks of this year's IPL. In the 16th edition of the IPL, Chennai Super Kings defeated Gujarat Titans by five wickets (via DLS method) in the rain-affected rescheduled final of the season to win a record-equalling fifth IPL title at the Narendra Modi Stadium.

<ul><li>Viacom18’s digital streaming platform <keyword id="4078236" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="jiocinema" source="Orion">JioCinema</keyword> said its <keyword id="6354312" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="ipl" source="Orion">IPL</keyword> 2023 videos have recorded over 1,300 crore views in the first five weeks. </li><li>So far, 56 out of the 74 matches have been played, and the league is entering its final phase. </li><li>Two matches involving the MS Dhoni-led Chennai Super Kings recorded the highest number of concurrent users. </li></ul>The ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 received over 1,300 crore video views on JioCinema in the first five weeks, according to Viacom18. The company announced this after 56 out of the 74 scheduled matches were played during IPL 2023. Viacom18 is the digital streaming partner of IPL after having bagged the digital rights for the 2023-27 cycle for $2.7 billion. The IPL 2023 season is streaming for free, giving users access to matches in several Indian languages as well as English. In addition to these, JioCinema also offers the ability to use different modes like 360-degree, spider cam, bowler point of view, among others. “JioCinema continues to grow from strength to strength every week and it is based on clear evidence of consumer’s outright preference of catching the Tata IPL on digital [platforms],” said Viacom18 Sports CEO Anil Jayaraj. In terms of concurrent users – that is, users watching the match simultaneously – JioCinema recorded a peak of 2.4 crore users in the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) vs Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) match on April 17, beating the previous record 2.23 crore viewers in the CSK vs Rajasthan Royals just five days earlier. <keyword id="46161" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="disney" source="Orion">Disney</keyword> Star, on the other hand, has the TV broadcasting rights, and the Disney-owned network reported that its IPL 2023 viewership in the first four weeks stood at 43.4 crore users. It’s the second-highest viewership in IPL’s 16-year history. It is worth noting that while JioCinema’s statistics talk about video views, Disney Star’s statistics refer to users, so the two are not directly comparable. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="After IPL, JioCinema scoops up HBO" comment="subhead" text="After IPL, JioCinema scoops up HBO">After IPL, JioCinema scoops up HBO</cmsannotation> Pulling another coup on Disney, Viacom18 entered into a multi-year agreement in April with Warner Bros.

Starting May, JioCinema users will be able to stream HBO, Max Original and Warner Bros content on the app. In addition to this, JioCinema users will also get access to extremely popular movies and shows like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Succession, and animation series like Tom &amp; Jerry Kids and Dexter’s Laboratory, among others. Making the announcement, Ferzad Palia, head - SVOD &amp; International Business, Viacom18, said, “We are now on a mission to build the most magnetic destination for entertainment for all Indians.” With a growing content library thanks to sports like IPL, FIFA World Cup, LaLiga, MotoGP 2023, and now HBO content, JioCinema has been spotted testing a premium subscription plan. In April, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/jiocinema-may-soon-launch-premium-subscription-plans-offering-4k-content-starting-at-2-per-day/articleshow/99736111.cms">a test website of JioCinema revealed</a> the company’s premium plans, which start from as low as ₹2 per day, with the top tier platinum plan costing ₹599 per annum. This is cheaper than what other top players like Netflix, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ Hotstar are charging – while Netflix starts at ₹1,788 per year for its mobile plan, Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ Hotstar charge ₹1,499 per year. That said, JioCinema’s premium plans are not yet live on the platform and it’s not known when or if they will be launched. All eyes will be on the company for more details. The loss of IPL and now HBO has eaten significantly into Disney+ Hotstar’s subscriber base – according to the company, Disney+ Hotstar <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/news/disney-loses-4-mn-subscribers-as-fresh-layoff-round-approaches/articleshow/100153975.cms">lost 4.6 million subscribers</a> in the March quarter, increasing from the 3.8 million loss in the December quarter.

From the existing subscriber base of 53 million, Disney+ Hostar is likely to lose another 10 million subscribers over the next three quarters.
