TV18’s Raghav Bahl To Set Up Movie Production House

Indiantelevision.com: Why I admire the TV18 group is that it’s the most aggressive media group in India. They are well entrenched in the TV network business and now have a robust new media strategy with successful portals like Moneycontrol.com. Now I hear that the group’s owner Raghav Bahl is venturing into film production and distribution business. Bahl will be setting up a separate company for this (it’s not clear if it will be part of the listed entity). He has hired former Sahara One Motion Pictures COO Sandeep Bhargava to head the movie production house.
Of course, Bahl has the spare cash to venture into new businesses. And entertainment is definitely the area to be in. TV18 owns English business news channel CNBC-TV18, the Hindi consumer news channel Awaaz, the English news channel CNN-IBN and the Hindi news channel Channel7. Besides, they own a slew of portals including the recently acquired JobStreet India.
