The Times Internet owned MXPlayer has been one of the top OTT players in the country and has constantly been trying to expand its operations and viewer base, as was evident with the launch of MX TakaTak, a short video making app. The platform’s recent series ‘Aashram’ starring Bobby Deol directed by Prakash Jha is being highly anticipated. With all this and much more going on, roping in experienced people like Rahul Sarangi becomes more so important for MXPlayer.
