The 65-year-old also shared a black and white photograph of the studio which was being readied for an inauguration with the film Awaara starring Raj Kapoor, Nargis, Prithviraj Kapoor, Leela Chitnis.
“1950. R K Studios stage No: 1 being readied for Dusserah inauguration with the film Awaara. Dream sequence was to be shot,” Rishi captioned the image.
The blaze gutted one of the main shooting venues — the set of dance reality TV show Super Dancer Season 2, but the shooting was not underway.
R K Films has given Bollywood titles like Barsaat (1949), Awaara (1951), Boot Polish (1954), Shri 420 (1955) and Jaagte Raho (1956).
The studio was the venue for movies like Jis Desh Me Ganga Behti Hain (1960), Mera Naam Joker (1970), Bobby (1973), the debut film for Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia, Satyam Shivam Sundaram (1978), Prem Rog (1982), Ram Teri Ganga Maili (1985), which was the founder-actor’s last film before his death in June 1988.
