The development, reported by multiple outlets, signals a significant return for a brand that once defined Hindi cinema.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload aligncenter size-full wp-image-2098052\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/Ranbir-Kapoor-leases.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"620\" height=\"450\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Ranbir Kapoor leases five floors in Andheri for 20 years to revive RK Studios<\/p>\n<p>The original RK Studios, founded by Ranbir\u2019s grandfather, the late \u201cShowman\u201d Raj Kapoor \u2014 was located in Chembur but was sold in 2018 after a devastating fire and mounting maintenance challenges. This new lease is seen as a bold attempt to bring the prestige and infrastructure of the studio back to life in a modern setting. According to industry reports, the five-floor space at Kanakia Wall Street will be transformed into a cutting-edge production and creative hub. Plans include soundstages equipped for virtual production, editing and post-production suites, screening rooms, VFX facilities and dedicated offices for the Kapoor family\u2019s creative and administrative teams. The project reportedly also plans for hospitality areas and archival storage to house extensive RK memorabilia and film history.<\/p>\n<p>While financial terms of the lease have not been disclosed, sources suggest that operations could begin as early as mid-2026, contingent on final clearances and approvals. The facility is expected to host multiple film and advertising shoots simultaneously, making it a competitive entrant among Mumbai\u2019s production spaces.<\/p>\n<p>The revival comes amid broader speculation about Ranbir Kapoor\u2019s creative ambitions, with insiders hinting that the new studio could serve as the base for his future directorial ventures. Industry observers see the move as not only a tribute to RK Studios\u2019 storied past but also a strategic investment in the future of Indian cinema.<\/p>\n<p>Also Read: <a class=\"row-title\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bollywoodhungama.com\/news\/features\/ranbir-kapoors-dad-moment-raha-steals-attention-alia-bhatt-joins-neetu-wedding\/\" aria-label=\"\u201cRanbir Kapoor\u2019s \u2018Dad\u2019 moment with Raha steals attention as Alia Bhatt joins Neetu at a wedding\u201d (Edit)\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Ranbir Kapoor\u2019s \u2018Dad\u2019 moment with Raha steals attention as Alia Bhatt joins Neetu at a wedding<\/a><\/p>\n<p>BOLLYWOOD NEWS &#8211; LIVE UPDATES<\/p>\n<p>Catch us for latest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bollywoodhungama.com\/bollywood\/\" style=\"color:#000;font-weight: bold;\" alt=\"Bollywood News\" title=\"Bollywood News\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bollywood News<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bollywoodhungama.com\/movies\/\" style=\"color:#000;font-weight: bold;\" alt=\"New Bollywood Movies\" title=\"New Bollywood Movies\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New Bollywood Movies<\/a> update, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bollywoodhungama.com\/box-office-collections\/\" style=\"color:#000;font-weight: bold;\" alt=\"Box office collection\" title=\"Box office collection\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Box office collection<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bollywoodhungama.com\/movies\/\" style=\"color:#000;font-weight: bold;\" alt=\"New Movies Release\" title=\"New Movies Release\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">New Movies Release <\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bollywoodhungama.com\/hindi\/\" style=\"color:#000;font-weight: bold;\" alt=\"Bollywood News Hindi\" title=\"Bollywood News Hindi\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bollywood News Hindi<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bollywoodhungama.com\/\" style=\"color:#000;font-weight: bold;\" alt=\"Entertainment News\" title=\"Entertainment News\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Entertainment News<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bollywoodhungama.com\/news\/\" style=\"color:#000;font-weight: bold;\" alt=\"Bollywood Live News Today\" title=\"Bollywood Live News Today\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Bollywood Live News Today<\/a> &amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bollywoodhungama.com\/movie-release-dates\/\" style=\"color:#000;font-weight: bold;\" alt=\"Upcoming Movies 2026\" title=\"Upcoming Movies 2026\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Upcoming Movies 2026<\/a> and stay updated with latest hindi movies only on Bollywood Hungama.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bollywood star Ranbir Kapoor and his family are taking a major step toward reviving their cinematic legacy by&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":310384,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[321,93,61,60,43,21223,4783,70564],"class_list":["post-310383","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-news","tag-raj-kapoor","tag-ranbir-kapoor","tag-rk-studios"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310383","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=310383"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/310383\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/310384"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=310383"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=310383"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=310383"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
