Ranbir Kapoor Leases Five Floors in Andheri for 20 Years to Revive RK Studios
Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor and his family are making a significant move to revive their cinematic legacy by leasing five floors in a commercial complex in Andheri East, Mumbai, for 20 years to establish a new chapter of the iconic RK Studios. This development, reported widely across media, marks a major comeback for a brand that once symbolized Hindi cinema.
The original RK Studios, founded by Ranbir’s grandfather, the legendary Raj Kapoor, was located in Chembur but was sold in 2018 following a devastating fire and increasing maintenance challenges. This fresh lease signals a bold effort to restore the studio’s prestige and infrastructure in a modern, state-of-the-art setting.
According to industry sources, the five floors at Kanakia Wall Street will be transformed into a cutting-edge production and creative hub. Planned facilities include soundstages equipped for virtual production, editing and post-production suites, screening rooms, VFX studios, and dedicated offices for the Kapoor family’s creative and administrative teams.
The project also envisions hospitality areas and archival spaces to preserve extensive RK memorabilia and film history. While financial details remain undisclosed, insiders suggest operations could commence by mid-2026, pending final approvals. The facility is expected to accommodate multiple film and advertising shoots simultaneously, positioning it as a competitive new player among Mumbai’s production spaces.
This revival aligns with growing speculation about Ranbir Kapoor’s creative ambitions, with reports hinting that the new studio may become the base for his future directorial projects. Industry experts regard this move as both a tribute to RK Studios’ illustrious legacy and a strategic investment in the evolving landscape of Indian cinema.
