MUMBAI: Veteran actor Rishi Kapoor has said that he will rebuild the RK Studio after it was gutted down in a fire recently.

An aggrieved Rishi, 65, took to Twitter where he posted a photo of the now dilapidated premises of the studio, which was founded in 1948 by celebrated actor-filmmaker Raj Kapoor in Chembur suburbs.

"2017 September 16. Gutted by a devastating inferno. Scars shall remain but will build a state of the art studio. (sic)," wrote Rishi.
