Kapoor Family Ready To Sell RK Studio

Mumbai: Actor-filmmaker Raj Kapoor’s RK studio is now up for sale. It was established in 1948 at Chembur in the City of Dreams and over the decades, witnessed several films made by the Kapoor family.

On September 16 last year, a major fire broke out on the sets of dance reality show ‘Super Dancer’ during a shoot at the studio, in which its ground floor was gutted. No casualty was reported in the mishap.

Raj Kapoor’s son and actor Rishi Kapoor had earlier expressed a desire to rebuild the studio with ‘state-of-the-art’ technology, but his brother Randhir said it was not practical.

“Yes, we have taken the decision to sell RK Studio. It is already up for sale. After the fire, it is not viable to build the studio again,” Randhir said.

‘Aa Ab Laut Chalen’ starring Akshaye Khanna and Aishwarya Rai was the last film directed under the RK banner, which had seen super-hits like ‘Aag’, ‘Barsaat’, ‘Awaara’, ‘Shri 420’, ‘Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hai’, ‘Mera Naam Joker’, ‘Bobby’, ‘Satyam Shivam Sundaram’ and ‘Ram Teri Ganga Maili’.
