R K Studio in Mumbai

R.K Studio is the brainchild of the towering Raj Kapoor; who created the studio with all his accumulated money in 1950s in Chembur, Mumbai. He was determined and inspired to set up his own studio as while shooting for ‘Awara’ he and his crew were informed of vacating the studio they were shooting, which has been handover to someone else.

R.K Studio till date is considered synonymous with Bollywood’s journey and its overwhelming success and young aspirants still catch a glimpse of this sprawling studio by paying tribute before embarking on their mission. Grandson of Raj Kapoor, renowned film star Ranbeer Kapoor also did the same.

R.K Studio and R.K Films have produced several films and almost all of them have done commercially well; to name a few; Mera Naam Joker, Awara, Barsaat, Shree 420, Jis Desh Mein Ganga Behti Hain, Ram Teri Ganga Maili, Kal Aaj aur Kal, Bobby, Satyam Shivam Sundaram and the last one Aa Ab Laut Chalein produced by Rishi Kapoor, son of Raj Kapoor.

The intriguing part about R.K Studio is that though no new films have been produced and shot in this institution, still it is preserved by the descendants of Kapoor family and the costumes and some old props from successful movies are conserved in the studio premises. Ganapati Chaturthi and Holi are celebrated on R.K Studio’s premises by family members every year with a lot of fanfare and in presence of film fraternity.
