yes bro, already asianet movies is airing it in malayalam and it might be because they bought the rights they are shoving into our mouth.
Same with Jalsha Movies those regional users who wants to see movies over cricket will force to watch cricket despite of having 6 channels they forcing every one for cricket and making us sick.

In the era of digitization they can easily provides language feed but these foreign jerks only cares about money and capturing our entertainment.

gemini and ztelugu would manage, but ETV didnt buy new films for quite some years and also the TRP ratings are dwindling,
There was a time ETV was doing quite well but after Zee Telugu start dominating at least by acquiring new movies from that time onwards ETV loosing it's core.
