The Kapoor family is putting final touches to an ambitious plan ? they intend to revive the RK Films’ banner 11 years after they temporarily folded up operations. The banner was set by the late Raj Kapoor in 1951.

The film-maker’s eldest son Randhir Kapoor says, “We are working on it (revival of the banner). We have met a few people and we will make an announcement very soon.”

The last film produced by the banner was Aa Ab Laut Chalein in 1999. That film bombed at the box office and post that the banner was temporarily shut down.

A source says, “Randhir had earlier spoken to his daughter Kareena (Kapoor) about doing a film. But she hasn’t been able to allot dates. That was the reason the re-launch got postponed. Otherwise it would have happened a few months ago.”

Now, apparently Raj Kapoor’s grandson Ranbir Kapoor (Rishi Kapoor’s son) is keen revive the banner. The source says, “Ranbir wants to revive the banner. He has been trying to convince Randhir and Rishi to do the same. There is a script that the banner might be revived with and it may star Ranbir.”

The source adds, “The project with Kareena has been dropped as of now. So in all probability, this will be the first project where Rishi will direct his son Ranbir.”
