New on Disney+Hotstar: Cuttputlli, Hocus Pocus 2, Dahan, Andor, and more

Disney+ Hotstar has revealed a list of 57 titles that will be available on its platform starting in September 2022. Among the new titles is the Diego Luna-led Star Wars series Andor, which takes us back to a galaxy far, far away before the events of Rogue One, which was set before the events of Episode IV - A New Hope. The first three episodes of Andor will be available on Disney+ Hotstar on September 21. Andor, unlike previous Star Wars series, will only be available in English and Hindi. Hotstar's experiments with providing Tamil, Telugu, and Malayalam dubs for Obi-Wan Kenobi and The Book of Boba Fett probably didn't find a large enough audience to justify the expense.

We have three originals coming from India in September 2022 on Disney+ Hotstar. Cuttputlli, the Hindi-language remake of the Tamil film Ratsasan, stars Akshay Kumar as a newly-hired sub-inspector (Kumar) who investigates a series of gruesome killings of young teenage girls in the Himachal Pradesh town of Kasauli. Cuttputlli premiered on Disney+Hotstar on September 2. Tisca Chopra stars in the second film, Dahan: Raakan Ka Rahasya, a supernatural mystery. It takes place in the Rajasthani village of Shilaspura, where a mining corporation is digging for a rare earth mineral beneath a revered and cursed temple. Dahan premieres on Disney+Hotstar on September 16. Finally, Tamannaah will appear in the Madhur Bhandarkar-directed comedy-drama Babli Bouncer, which will be released on September 23.
