Disney may pursue legal action against Zee for not honoring the agreement, which was originally signed in August 2022. Despite attempts to reach out to Zee for comment, the company did not respond, while Disney Star declined to provide any statement on the issue.

Zee Entertainment on Tuesday said it is "committed" to the merger with Sony Pictures Networks India and is working towards a "successful closure" of the transaction that will create the country's largest media house worth USD 10 billion.
