Reliance MediaWorks is in talks with strategic investors to raise Rs 500 crore to Rs 600 crore through a sale of equity. Some large global media services firms based in the United States and Europe are showing interest in buying a stake in the company.
Reliance MediaWorks has been discussing with the global firms from the last three months and the deal may be signed by the middle of the fiscal that begins in April. The company which operates cinemas, film and media services, and television production is seriously thinking of turning the media services business into a separate subsidiary, which can then offload a stake, although nothing has been finalized yet.
In January this year, the company was all set to open the country’s most modern studio that may invite several Hollywood and European filmmakers with its affordable international-standard production facilities.
Reliance MediaWorks is India’s fastest growing film and entertainment services company. It operates BIG Cinemas, the largest cinema chain of the country with over 525 screens spread across India, US, Malaysia, Nepal and Netherlands.
