Star Studios

Star Studios (formerly known as Fox Star Studios) is an Indian motion picture production and distribution company. It is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Disney Star, part of the Disney International Operations segment of The Walt Disney Company. The studio produces Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and other South Asian language films through acquisitions, co-productions, and in-house productions for worldwide distribution. It also distributes English films produced by 20th Century Studios' divisions in India. The studio was founded in March 2008 as a joint venture between 20th Century Fox and co-owned Star India. Soon after its launch, the studio had explored the option to co-produce and distributing Karan Johar's Dharma Productions films. In 2009, the studio acquired the rights for My Name is Khan, the studio’s debut film as distributor and co-producer.
