Ranbir Kapoor plans to revive his grandfather Raj Kapoor's cinematic legacy by remaking the 1951 classic Awara. The actor will star opposite Deepika Padukone in the project with director Ayan Mukerji attached, signaling a return to RK Studios' heritage nearly six years after the family's studio property sale.
Raj Kapoor founded RK Studios in 1948, creating landmark films including Awara, which featured three generations of Kapoors and earned a Berlin International Film Festival nomination. The Chembur studio lot now hosts a Godrej Properties residential development following its 2019 sale. Ranbir's initiative represents the first major effort to reclaim the studio's filmmaking tradition since that transaction, drawing attention from global cinema enthusiasts anticipating this revival.
