Production Studio

Star Studio18

Star Studio18 is one of Bollywood's most dynamic production powerhouses, having built an impressive track record under various corporate umbrellas—from Star TV to 21st Century Fox and now under the JioStar banner (a Reliance-Disney joint venture). Based in Mumbai, the studio has carved out a reputation for backing ambitious, big-budget films that aren't afraid to swing for the fences. Led by industry veteran Ajit Andhare, Star Studio18 has consistently delivered projects that blend commercial appeal with creative ambition, establishing itself as a go-to production partner for filmmakers with grand visions. What sets Star Studio18 apart is its commitment to pan-Indian cinema—they don't just produce Hindi films, but also work across Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, and other South Asian language projects, making them truly pan-regional players in the industry. Their films now get Disney's massive global distribution muscle behind them, which has been a game-changer for international reach. The studio's recent work, including the visually stunning Brahmāstra: Part One – Shiva (2022), showcases their willingness to invest in high-concept storytelling and cutting-edge filmmaking. By combining strong in-house production capabilities with strategic co-productions and acquisitions, Star Studio18 continues to shape what contemporary Hindi cinema looks like, one ambitious project at a time.
