It is also known that :
a) Naseer and Raveena act as a lead pair in a movie on Disney
b) No two movies on any platform had the same lead actor
Question:
Shahid and Raveena are the lead pair in a movie on which platform ?
Disney
Netflix
Amazon or Zee5
Amazon
From the data, apart from the fact that on any platform an actor could perform as a lead only once, we also get to know :

Now, Supriya did not pair up with Amit or Pankaj in any movie on any platform, and Naseer could not be her lead actor on Disney anymore, so Supriya had paired up with Shahid on Disney
Supriya had paired up as the lead with only one movie with Shahid, and two movies with Naseer. So Supriya’s one movie each on Zee5 and Netflix was with Naseer as the lead actor
Hence Sushmita had paired up with Pankaj in one movie and with Amit in another movie on Disney
So Sushmita had paired up with Shahid once and Amit the second time on Netflix, as Sushmita never paired up with Naseer

Kajol had paired up in one movie with Naseer. But it could not be a movie on Zee5, as Naseer had already played the lead in one movie there. So Kajol had paired with Naseer as the lead in a movie on Amazon
Since, on Netflix, Naseer, Shahid and Amit had all acted as a lead actor, so Raveena had paired up with Pankaj in her only movie on Netflix
Raveena had paired up with Shahid in two movies. They could not be on the same platform. So Raveena had paired up with Shahid once in a movie on Zee5 and once in a movie on Amazon

Now, Kajol had acted as the lead actress in one more movie on Amazon and one movie on Zee5, and it could be with either Pankaj or Amit in any order
Also, Raveena had acted as the lead actress in one more movie on Zee5 and one more movie on Amazon, and it could be with either Pankaj and Amit in the order depending upon the order chosen for Kajol pairing up with Pankaj and Amit.
Hence, the final scenario reduces to :
Table 1 |

Hence, Shahid and Raveena are the lead pair in a movie on either Amazon or Zee5.
