![]() For Raj Kapoor, who passed away in 1988, the two acres of land in Mumbai’s eastern suburbs on which RK Studios was built and the showman’s personal cottage nearby was very much a kingdom from where he “literally ruled the industry and Indian cinema,” as RK heroine Padmini Kolhapure told The Hindustan Times. Cliché as it may sound, it marks the end of an era. Today, as the iconic studio finally changes hand with Godrej Properties Ltd buying it for an undisclosed amount, it’s more than just a slice gone. A slice of Bollywood history is lost forever, many a newspaper headlines rued. In August, after Rishi Kapoor announced his family’s decision to sell RK Studios in Chembur, established by his late father Raj Kapoor in 1948, thousands of film-goers grieved for the loss.
