Sony and Zee did not immediately respond to a CNBC request for comment.
Shares of India's Zee Entertainment jumped more than 10% on Tuesday after a report that its $10 billion merger with Japanese tech giant Sony could be revived.
Sony first proposed to combine its India entertainment business with Zee in December 2021.
Last month, Zee sued Sony over the termination of the deal and urged the Japanese firm to revive the merger.
The union of Zee and Sony's India subsidiary would have created a potential content and entertainment powerhouse in India.
