Star Studios

Background
Fox Star Studios is an Indian film production company. It was formed by 20th Century Fox and Asia's STAR TV (later in 2011 as Star India, now known as Disney Star) (both 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 would have 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 Brahmastra: Part One: Shiva.

(February 12, 2010-May 15, 2022)
Nicknames: "CGI Searchlights", "Ultra-Majestic Tower", "CGI City Skyline Searchlights", "Enhanced City Skyline Searchlights", "The Searchlights", "Majestic Tower", "Decade Tower", "2010s Tower", "Futuristic Structure", "Fox Star Structure", "Majestic Fox Star Structure", "Indian 20th Century Fox", "Fox Takes King"

Logo: Same as the 2009 20th Century Fox logo, but the standard structure is instead replaced by "FOX STAR STUDIOS", with STAR TV's 1998 star symbol next to "STAR" and fitting snugly below the "X" while piercing the lines above it.

Bylines:
 * February 12, 2010-September 27, 2013: "Times New Roman"
 * November 28, 2013-: Bylineless

Variants:
 * Sometimes, the logo is still. Here, it looks more like the 1994 Fox logo, but with a darker sky, an orange tint, and a much uglier version of the logo, with bolder text and overly bright lighting.
 * A prototype of the logo exists. Like the prototype TCF logo, it is blurry at the beginning and white wireframes appear when the logo is in its position.
 * Open-matte versions of the logo exist.
 * Sometimes the registered trademark sign is removed from the logo.
 * Starting with the release of Bullett Raja on November 28, 2013 in the US and a day later in India, the News Corporation byline is excluded and the logo is bylineless for the first time ever, due to the aforementioned split on June 28, 2013.
 * On Dum Maaro Dum (2011), the logo is oversaturated.
 * On Vathikuchi (2013), the logo has a light-bluish tint.
 * On the trailers of Cuckoo (2014), the logo has a bluer sky background.

FX/SFX: Same as the final 20th Century Fox logo. Just like the other 2009 Fox logos, Blue Sky Studios was responsible for the logo's animation.

Music/Sounds: The 1997 Fox fanfare. None for the still version.

Availability: Current, but it may not last. 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 Fox logo (non-US version) or the Fox Searchlight Pictures logo (US version) itself. The still version can be found on the trailers for said film.
 * 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.
 * The last film to use this logo was Kaun Pravin Tambe?. With the rebrand to Star Studios, this logo is expected to be discontinued afterwards.

Editor's Note: Another great rendition of the 2009 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).
