The legacy of the iconic RK Films is reportedly set for a grand revival, spearheaded by Ranbir Kapoor, the grandson of its legendary founder, Raj Kapoor. Exciting industry chatter suggests that Ranbir is not only planning to restart the prestigious studio but is also lining up a dream pairing for its comeback project: reuniting with his celebrated co-star, Deepika Padukone. Sources indicate that this massive announcement, marking a significant moment in Hindi cinema, could take place on Raj Kapoor’s birth anniversary on December 14.

Honouring a Legacy: The Reimagining of Chori Chori

In October, news outlets began reporting Ranbir Kapoor’s intention to restore his late grandfather’s studio, RK Films, bringing the banner back to active production. Now, speculation suggests that the actor has finalized the perfect inaugural project: a contemporary take on the classic 1956 film, Chori Chori.

Chori Chori, an iconic movie fronted by Raj Kapoor and Nargis, itself drew inspiration from the Hollywood classic It Happened One Night. Revisiting such a beloved title would serve as a fitting tribute and an ideal way to relaunch the studio's journey. An industry insider shared, “There is a lot of excitement in Ranbir’s camp. He wants the RK Films’ comeback movie to feel like something his grandfather would have made, only told in today’s language.” This approach ensures the studio’s revival retains its artistic soul while appealing to modern audiences.

A Dream Team: Ayan Mukerji and Deepika Padukone

To helm this prestigious project, Ranbir Kapoor has reportedly entrusted the directorial reins to his close friend and frequent collaborator, Ayan Mukerji. Known for blockbusters like Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani (which also starred the duo) and Brahmastra, Ayan is perfectly positioned to translate the timeless romantic elements of Chori Chori into a grand, modern spectacle.

The insider confirms the gravity of the undertaking: “Ayan has been developing the script for months. He doesn’t want to rush it since it’s a prestige project.” The new love story is rumored to be mounted on a large scale, with a significant portion of the filming earmarked for stunning international locations, ensuring the project matches the ambition of a studio revival.

Furthermore, the reunion of Ranbir Kapoor and Deepika Padukone—who have previously collaborated on blockbusters—is an undeniable casting coup that adds immense excitement and commercial appeal to the venture.

The Big Announcement: December 14th

The momentum is building towards an official revelation, which sources suggest is timed to honor the studio’s founder. The birth anniversary of the legendary Raj Kapoor falls on December 14, and murmurs indicate this date is being eyed for the official announcement regarding the studio’s revival and the launch of the new film.

While the movie itself is still in the preliminary stages and has yet to take definitive shape, the intention to tie the announcement to the momentous date highlights Ranbir’s deep respect for his grandfather's legacy. This revival under the RK Films banner, led by a revered director and starring one of cinema's most celebrated pairs, is poised to become one of the most significant and anticipated film announcements of the year.
