Overview
- Mid-day reports that Kapoor is working to bring back the RK banner founded by his grandfather Raj Kapoor, with plans sourced to industry insiders and not yet confirmed by the actor.
- His first film as a director is reportedly part of the initial slate, with additional projects said to involve Ayan Mukerji and a collaboration featuring Deepika Padukone.
- Anurag Basu’s long-discussed Kishore Kumar biopic, expected to star Aamir Khan, is described as in advanced talks under the revived banner.
- Sources say the immediate goal is to re-establish the label and assemble films, with a physical space possibly following later that could include an office and a screening theatre.
- Context for the relaunch includes the 2017 fire that damaged RK Studios and the 2019 sale of the Chembur property to Godrej Properties; Mid-day says Kapoor did not respond to its request for comment.
