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 (via Disney Entertainment), part of the Disney International Operations segment of The Walt Disney Company.[2] The studio produces Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam and other South Asian language films through acquisitions, co-productions and in-house productions for worldwide distribution.
Star Studios was one of the 21st Century Fox and Star India film production companies that was acquired by Disney on 20 March 2019. The studio's current name was adopted on 27 May 2022 in order to avoid confusion with Fox Corporation.
Starting with the international release of Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva (2022), all of Star Studios' films are now handled internationally by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures.[3][4][5][6]
Star India CEO Sanjay Gupta will be Disney's country manager of India and will also have direct responsibility for the Indian studio business, Fox Star Studios.
