MUMBAI: After creating access for viewers across South East Asian territories like Hong-Kong, Malasyia and Singapore, UTV Motion Pictures has now signed a distribution deal with Taiwan for release of movies across various platforms that include television and home video.
UTV will initially release Jodhaa Akbar and Taare Zameen Par on Taiwan Terrestrial Television and home video – DVD and VCD – with Mandarin subtitles. UTV will also exploit theatrical revenues, releasing the movies in original language with standard Mandarin subtitles.

Therefore, it is our endeavor to be at every possible place where quality films are appreciated. Jodhaa Akbar and Taare Zameen Par have received great response in many markets and I am sure we would get similar response when in Taiwan.”
