What Happened to RK Studios in Chembur?
RK Studios, the family’s legacy studio, was founded by Ranbir’s grandfather, the late ‘Showman’ Raj Kapoor, in Chembur. After a fire damaged the iconic shooting location and Raj Kapoor’s house Deonar Cottage in 2017, the Kapoor family decided to sell it off. The RK Studios in Chembur was sold to Godrej Properties at INR 180 crore, and was developed into a luxury residential property named Godrej RKS. If the reports of a new RK Studios are to be believed, it is a strategic move by the Kapoor Khandaan to maintain their legacy for generations to come.
