Brazilian TV Producers rebrands as Brazilian Content as per AV trend
MUMBAI: Brazilian TV Producers, BRAVI’s export programme, in partnership with Brazilian Trade and Investment Promotion Agency (Apex-Brasil), will change its name to Brazilian Content from 6 March 2017, and will showcase the new brand at Rio Content Market.
The reason for the change is the new audiovisual market dynamics and the members’ profiles which is production of content in wide-ranging formats for several screens. “This is a worldwide trend. In times of digital content and the growth of the VOD market, mobile and games, the word TV does not cover the full scope of the operation of the companies in the project. Audiovisual production is multiplatform”, says Brazilian Content’s executive manager Rachel do Valle.
The export program has arranged the participation of delegations of Brazilian producers to international events such as MIPCOM (Cannes), NATPE and Kidscreen (both in the USA) for 12 years. Also, it follows the main discussions of the sector at the global market. It has also joined negotiations for the attainment of cooperation agreements of Brazil and governments such as United Kingdom, Israel among others.
BRAVI, the association in charge of carrying out Brazilian Content’s program, has also recently undergone a change in name to include other screens. Before ABPITV, it was renamed Brasil Audiovisual Independente (Brazil Independent Audiovisual), to reinforce its independent nature and not only TV screen.
BRAVI brings together independent audiovisual content producers for television and new media, and has over 600 members in 18 units of the federation, in all of Brazil’s five regions. Brazilian Content is the Brazil Independent Audiovisual (BRAVI) international program.

Hari Om OTT premieres Bhagwan Jhulelal Sai series
First devotional show on Jhulelal Sai streams in Sindhi and Hindi.
MUMBAI: Hari Om OTT just turned the tide for devotional dramas because when Jhulelal Sai steps onto the small screen, even the waves start streaming in two languages. Hari Om OTT, India’s leading devotional streaming platform launched in June 2024, has premiered Bhagwan Jhulelal Sai, a milestone series that marks the first-ever show dedicated to the revered deity of the Sindhi community. The show, starring Manish Raisinghani as Jhulelal Sai / Varun Dev and Parag Tyagi as Mirkh Shah, launched on Jhulelal Jayanti and is available in both Sindhi and Hindi.
The series chronicles the life, journey and teachings of Bhagwan Jhulelal Sai, blending mythology with historical elements to deliver an authentic and inspiring narrative for global audiences.
Manish Raisinghani said, “Portraying Jhulelal Sai and Varun Dev was not just a role, it was a spiritual journey and a moment of immense pride for my family and community. This one holds a special place in my heart, especially since the show is coming in our very own Sindhi language as well.”
Parag Tyagi added, “Jhulelal Sai is the first-ever show that beautifully blends mythology with history. Hari Om has achieved something truly special by bringing the stories of our gods and goddesses to audiences in their authentic language.”
Hari Om OTT CEO Avinash Dugar said, “With Bhagwan Jhulelal Sai, we’re excited to share this inspiring story with the Sindhi community and beyond. We will continue to showcase the stories of Indian culture and Sanatan Dharma to the world, presented in their own language.”
The premiere builds on Hari Om OTT’s track record of acclaimed devotional titles including Mata Lakshmi, Jai Jagannath, Shri Tirupati Balaji, Mata Saraswati and Chandra Dev, all focused on celebrating India’s cultural and spiritual legacy through high-quality storytelling.
In a streaming landscape crowded with fiction, Hari Om OTT is quietly proving that the most powerful stories aren’t made up, they’re the ones that have already inspired generations, now delivered straight to your screen in the language of devotion. Bhagwan Jhulelal Sai is now streaming on Hari Om OTT.
