Ranbir Kapoor To Relaunch Raj Kapoor’s RK Studios; Plans Directorial Debut- Report

Ranbir Kapoor is all set to bring back a very special part of his family history. According to reports, the actor is working on reviving the iconic RK Studios, originally built by his grandfather, the legendary filmmaker Raj Kapoor. This effort is not just about starting a business again — it is an emotional tribute to his family’s legacy and their deep connection to Indian cinema.

RK Studios To Have Collaborations with Ayan Mukerji, Deepika Padukone

Ranbir reportedly plans to produce new films under the revived banner, keeping the classic RK spirit alive while adding a modern touch. Several scripts have already been shortlisted, and production is expected to begin soon. The new RK Studios may also include office spaces and a screening room, aiming to become a creative hub for filmmakers in Mumbai. This move also fulfils the dream of Ranbir’s late father, Rishi Kapoor, who had always hoped to see the studio flourish once again.

Along with Ranbir’s first directorial project, the studio is expected to back multiple films featuring top Bollywood talents. There are also plans for collaborations with Deepika Padukone and director Ayan Mukerji, making this revival even more promising.

RK Studios holds a special place in Indian film history. Established in 1948 by Raj Kapoor, it gave the industry classics like Barsaat, Awaara, Mera Naam Joker, Bobby, Satyam Shivam Sundaram, Prem Rog, and Ram Teri Ganga Maili. These films shaped Bollywood’s golden era and made RK Studios a symbol of cinematic excellence.

The last film under the RK banner was Aa Ab Laut Chalen in 1999, directed by Rishi Kapoor. Over the years, as the industry shifted to Mumbai’s suburbs, the studio saw a decline. In 2017, a massive fire destroyed precious memorabilia, forcing the Kapoor family to eventually sell the property.

With Ranbir’s heartfelt effort, a new chapter is about to begin honouring the past while creating a bright future for RK Studios.
