“I don’t believe in this fact that I need to rekindle the R.K. Films banner,” says Ranbir, whose latest release Besharam has received quite a bashing from critics. “R.K Films is right up there in the ‘Greats of Indian Cinema’ and I wouldn’t like to touch it or spoil it or take advantage of it. If I do something, I will create something of my own so that if my children are working in movies, they don’t have to have anyone’s shadow. Raj Kapoor is too big a name to have a shadow.”
He then shares his reservations. “I have realised that I don’t know if I really want to make films under our R.K. Films banner. It’s synonymous with Raj Kapoor. It’s his banner and his creation. I can’t live up to his vision.”
He adds that he wants to collaborate with directors as a producer, which is why he is producing a movie with Anurag Basu.
“We are equal partners in it. It’s called Picture Shuru. If I want to produce films with Ayan Mukerji, I will probably call it something else,” he said.
