The deal will also ease the pressure that Zee Entertainment Enterprises Ltd was facing from top shareholders who called for a management reshuffle last week - including the removal of CEO Punit Goenka from the board - amid corporate governance concerns. Shares in Zee soared 35% after Wednesday's announcement, taking its market capitalisation to nearly $4.5 billion.
