'With
A
Heavy
Heart,
We
Have
Decided
To
Let
It
Go'
Randhir
Kapoor
told
The
Quint,
"With
the
state
of
the
roads
and
traffic
today,
no
actor
comes
to
Chembur
to
shoot
in
this
studio.
They
would
rather
go
to
Film
City.
So,
with
a
very
heavy
heart,
we
have
decided
to
let
it
go.
My
whole
family
is
very
sad,
but
there's
no
other
way."
'It's
An
Emotional
Loss'
He
further
added,
"It's
even
more
an
emotional
loss
than
monetary
loss.
We
have
lost
the
entire
memorabilia
of
Raj
Kapoor.
Whatever
Raj
Kapoor
had
built
has
been
burnt
down,"
referring
to
the
2017
fire
that
gutted
the
studio.
Meanwhile,
Bollywood
Is
Heartbroken
With
This
News
Annu
Kapoor
who
filmed
two
important
films
there
said,
"It's
very
heartbreaking
since
it's
an
iconic
place."
Arjun
Rampal
Had
This
To
Say
"It's
up
to
the
family
to
take
the
decision.
It
was
an
iconic
studio,
it
still
is,
and
I
hope
it
remains."
Mukesh
Bhatt
Welcomed
The
Kapoor
Clan's
Decision
"Change
is
a
part
of
life.
We
should
welcome
it.
Let
the
old
go,
let
the
new
come."
Lata
Mangeshkar
Shared
Her
Fond
Memories
Of
The
Place
"I
have
many
many
fond
memories
of
RK
Studios.
It
was
a
fountain
of
creativity.
There,
some
of
the
greatest
movies
and
songs
of
Indian
cinema
were
created.
Raj
Saab
was
so
filled
with
passion.
I've
never
seen
any
filmmaker
who
gave
so
much
of
himself
to
every
film
he
made.
I
was
not
part
of
his
first
film
Aag
in
1948.
But
from
Barsaat
in
1949
I
was
an
integral
part
of
his
films
right
until
Henna."
