'Urduflix'
Fawad Chaudhry had said that the Ministry of Science and Technology has completed plenty of work on the streaming website. Therefore, the ministry has asked the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (PEMRA) to organize airing content guidelines.
The government has not yet made any progress on the streaming website, but private digital media platform Emax Media has announced a launch date for 'Urduflix.'
Last month, an entertainment website reported that Farhan Gohar, founder of Emax Media Group, had confirmed that he would launch a streaming website soon.
The report said that the digital media group, which is already running a streaming website, will launch a Netflix-style website, 'Urduflix,' which will include purely Urdu dramas, films, documentaries, comedies reality shows. Including Turkish Urdu translated plays will be broadcast.
A recent post on Urduflix's Instagram account states that Emax Media will launch the Urdu service in January next year.
The post said that the internationally recognized digital network Emax Media has started work on the on-demand streaming segment's event with the first Urdu OTT platform in Pakistan.
It was further said that original and special content in the Urdu language will be presented everywhere on the planet on this OTT platform.
According to the post, the OTT platform is Likely to be officially launched in mid-January 2021,
The Urduflix website has also been introduced, consistent with which Urdu- Flix users will have access to original Urdu series, films, web series, drama series, and Turkish dramas dubbed in Urdu.
If we take a glance at the above announcement of Emax Media, and therefore, the Instagram account of the Urduflix official, it seems that the method of preparing the first web series to be provided on the first Urdu OTT platform is additionally underway.
Recently, a picture of actress Aliza Shah was released on Urduflix's Instagram account in which she is shooting for a role, and at the same time, the hashtag of web series was also used in the post.
Later, in another post, an image of actress Mashal Khan was shared, and it had been reported that she had visited the office of Emax Media.
In another post with the image of actress Mashal Khan, it had been said that she is going to soon appear within the role of Alina Ali on Urduflix.
On the other hand, Mashal Khan also shared this post and confirmed his performance within the upcoming web series of Urduflix.
Keep in mind that the user can watch a drama or movie on such websites only when he subscribes to this website for money.
The user has to pay a monthly fee, reciprocally that the said website gives the user access to watch movies, dramas, and shows.
Normally, the monthly fee of such websites ranges from Rs. 1,000 to Rs. 1,500, but in recent times because of the increasing trend of streaming websites compared to TV and cinema, their fees are also increasing.
It is too early
