“Consumers are at the front and center of everything we do. Having acquired the latest top quality Bollywood content of 2020, it made perfect business sense to launch a second screen to be able to showcase the best of Hindi cinema to our viewers,” said Star India Hindi Movies Business executive vice president and GM  Hemal Jhaveri.

Over the years, Star Gold has been amongst the leading destinations for the latest Bollywood Blockbusters, consistently delivering the biggest movie line-up on Indian television. With the launch of the new channel, the brand will continue to showcase the latest hits now across two screens -- Star Gold and Star Gold 2.

Star Gold 2 will be available for viewers from 1 February, 2020, across leading DTH and cable platforms. A multi-touchpoint marketing campaign will go live to support the launch of the channel.
