'''Fox Star Studios''' is an Indian film production company. It was formed by [[20th Century Studios|20th Century '''Fox''']] and Asia's [[Disney Star IDs (India)|'''STAR''' TV]] (later in 2011 as Star India, now known as Disney Star | '''Fox Star Studios''' is an Indian film production company. It was formed by [[20th Century Studios|20th Century '''Fox''']] and Asia's [[Disney Star IDs (India)|'''STAR''' TV]] (later in 2011 as Star India, now known as Disney Star; both [[Print Logos - News Corp|News Corporation]] subsidiaries at the time) in 2008 to distribute any film from 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''). Previously, Fox operated an Indian branch until 2005 when it was closed down. Distribution of Fox titles in that region would be handled by [[Warner Bros. Pictures]] until 2008. On January 17, 2020, The Walt Disney Company announced that 20th Century Fox would be rebranded to 20th Century Studios; however, Fox Star Studios retains its name until May 27, 2022 when the parent company Disney announced that it would remove "Fox" from the company's name, presumably to avoid confusion with Fox Corporation, renaming it to '''Star Studios''', exactly two years after Disney began dropping the Fox name from several sister units including 20th Century Studios. It wouldn't have an on-screen logo until September 9, 2022 with the release of ''Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva''. | ||

'''Editor's Note:''' Another great rendition of the 2009 [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] logo, except made for Indian films. The 1994 logo style tends to be very cheesy however, due to not only that the design and colors don't match well with the 1994 TCF logo, but it didn't even look on par with any other TCF logo in existence (except with the placement of the searchlights). | '''Editor's Note:''' Another great rendition of the 2009 [[20th Century Studios|20th Century Fox]] logo, except made for Indian films.
