Jio Star website goes live ahead of Jio, Disney+ Hostar merger, ends Jio Hotstar domain discussion

Previously, a man from Delhi bought JioHotstar, expecting the merged entity to be named JioHotstar. However, a new website with the domain name JioStar has launched, indicating that Reliance has different plans.

The merger between Reliance Jio's Viacom18 and Star India Private Limited is expected to wrap up this week. Ahead of the merger, a new website has appeared, which may be the future home of a new streaming service created from the combination of JioCinema and Disney+ Hotstar—both popular platforms in India. Interestingly, this website is using a different internet address than what many people had anticipated, leading to discussions on social media lately.
