MUMBAI: Fox Star Studios said it is entering into the production of Tamil films and has signed a two-movie deal with director-turned producer AR Murugadoss.

Fox will co-produce and distribute the two movies. Said Fox International Productions head Sanford Pantich, "We are very excited to enter the Tamil film industry, it looks very promising." 

After Murugadoss, the studio has decided to approach Gautam Menon. This was evident when both Pantich and Fox Star Studios India CEO Vijay Singh watched Menon‘s Vinnaithandi Varuvaya.

"We enjoyed Menon‘s film and it was an amazing movie. But we are first focusing on our joint venture with Murugadoss. His body of work in the Tamil film industry is very impressive, especially in Ghajini," Singh said.
