In conjunction with this, ZEE5 Global, the world's largest streaming platform for South Asian content, has revealed that Telugu is one of the top 2 vernacular languages consumed on the platform. Some of the most notable releases such as "RRR," "Karthikeya 2" and "Hanu-Man" have outperformed others in the vernacular category to become all-time top-watched movies on ZEE5 Global.
