The company is waiting for the Indian Premier League (IPL) season to conclude, and may announce the merger by May end, they added. “The back-end has already been unified and currently it is pushing content to two separate platforms. It’s only a matter of time before Voot folds up," said one of the three people seeking anonymity.

Yes. They'll rollout once IPL concludes. Seems like a logical transition. They've already added 20-30% of HBO library.

What happens to Voot Premium subscribers?

As of now it looks like they will give the promo codes to subscribe for jio premium. But, we don't know how they're going to implement. Like whether it's like discount based or same validity as the voot subs etc

I think Jio cinema likely to remain the name of new app. Or else they could have used this final as an opportunity to launch new name
