The
roll-out
of
Disney
Plus,
the
streaming
platform
from
Disney,
in
India
through
Hotstar
has
been
put
on
hold,
the
company
said
on
Friday.
Some
of
the
Disney
Plus
content,
including
Star
Wars
series
"The
Mandalorian",
that
became
available
to
Hotstar
users
ahead
of
the
streaming
service's
launch
in
India
on
March
29,
is
no
longer
available
on
the
app.
We
recently
announced
that
Disney+
would
launch
in
India
through
the
Hotstar
service
in
conjunction
with
beginning
of
the
Indian
Premier
League
cricket
season.
Given
the
delay
of
the
season,
we
have
made
the
decision
to
briefly
pause
the
roll-out
of
Disney+
and
will
announce
a
new
revised
premiere
date
for
the
service
soon,
Uday
Shankar,
President
-
The
Walt
Disney
Company
APAC
and
Chairman,
Star
&
Disney
India,
said
in
a
statement.
Though
he
did
not
specify,
the
IPL
season
was
put
on
hold
due
to
coronavirus
scare,
which
has
led
to
cancellations
and
delay
in
events,
movies
and
film
festivals
across
the
globe.
