We are reviving the RK banner now. It will happen soon in a couple of months." He also said that he would be directing a love story. “The film will be a love story. I shall direct it,” he said.

But we’ll throw out the news of the cast with a bang,” he said.
It has been 21 years since a film was produced under the RK Films banner. The last film was Aa Ab Laut Chalen in 1999, directed by Rishi Kapoor.
