The first film they distributed was ''Australia'', and the first Bollywood movie they distributed was the British-produced ''Slumdog Millionaire'' (as ''Slumdog Crorepati''). 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 retained 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''. |

Logo: Same as the 2009 20th Century Fox logo, but the text on 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:
Variants:
Technique: CGI by the now-defunct Blue Sky Studios.
Music/Sounds: The 1997 Fox fanfare composed by David Newman. None for the still version.
Availability: Common. The logo can be found on any movie distributed by Fox Star Studios in India.

Logo: It's nearly the same as the Fox Star Studios logo, except "FOX" has been removed from the top of the structure, and the 2020 STAR logo, with Star India's 2011 logo instead of the letter "A" (in the same manner as its Disney+ Star content hub and Star+ logo) can be seen instead of "STAR" and its symbol to the right of the text like the previous logo. The word "STUDIOS" is also in a different font and larger to accommodate the size of the structure, and the registered symbol is also removed as well. The logo has also been redone, with more realistic lighting and textures, a slightly enhanced sky backdrop, different palm trees, sleeker and shinier-looking searchlights, a larger and more detailed Los Angeles cityscape (albeit without the Hollywood Sign), with slightly different camera movements and overall design, but still keeping the same animation.
Technique: CGI based on Picturemill's work, in turn, based on Blue Sky's design.
Music/Sounds: A brand new rendition of the 20th Century Studios fanfare. This version has Indian instruments such as sitar, sarod, tambura, sahnai, sarangi, and tabla being heard in the composition. It also sounds similar to the 1979 and 1982 fanfares. Arranged by A.R. Rahman.
Availability: Current.
