===Background===
===Background===
'''Fox STAR Studios''' is an Indian film production company. It was formed by [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] (now 20th Century Studios) and Asia's STAR TV (both [[21st Century Fox]] subsidiaries) in 2008 to distribute any film from [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] in India or produce Bollywood hits such as ''My Name is Khan''. The first film they distributed was ''Australia'', and the first Bollywood movie they distributed was the British-produced ''Slumdog Millionaire'' (as ''Slumdog Corepati''). They didn't use a logo until 2010. On January 17, 2020, The Walt Disney Company announced that 20th Century Fox would be rebranded to 20th Century Studios; however, Fox STAR Studios still retains its name.

'''Availability:''' Currently in use. The logo can be found on any movie distributed by Fox STAR Studios in India. It was first shown before ''My Name is Khan'', even before the [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] logo (non-US version) or the [[Searchlight Pictures|Fox Searchlight Pictures]] logo (US version) itself. The still version can be found on the trailers for said film. This logo is still being used, even after the renaming of 20th Century Fox to [[20th Century Studios]]. The last film to use this logo with the News Corporation byline was ''Raja Rani'', released on September 27, 2013. This logo surprisingly replaces the final 20th Century Fox logo on Indian releases of ''Epic'', with the logo for [[Blue Sky Studios]] intact. Despite it replacing the Fox Searchlight logo in Indian releases, don't expect this to appear on international prints of ''Slumdog Millionaire'' as varying distributors' logos appear on different prints of the film. On US releases of ''Dum Maaro Dum'', the Fox Searchlight Pictures logo appears instead. This logo is set to appear on future films such as ''Kaun Pravin Tambe?'', ''Babli Bouncer'', and ''Brahmastra''.
