You set the benchmark when you’re the leader. Under the Star Maa umbrella, Disney Star India’s Telugu bouquet – which has been number one in that language since one can remember – is going in for a refresh of its identity.
Star Maa’s new visual symbol has refreshed its identity. “We believe Star Maa has three important aspects in common- pride in our Samskruthi (culture), our Sampradayam (tradition) and story weaving towards Purogati (progress). Our attempt at Star Maa is to commemorate the blend of those three aspects in every storey we tell. From all this emerges the impression of our new identity. We think that we all have that little bit of Star Maa within us.”
General Entertainment, Movies, and Music are the three genres in which the channel group Star Maa operates. It has a unique culture in all three genres it functions Commanding a 25 per cent combined market share these streams own the highest percentage of television viewership in Telugu.
