Rajat Kapoor’s RK/RKay to be released in theatres on 22 July

Rajat Kapoor’s next directorial venture, RK/RKay, is all set to be released in theatres in India on 22 July.

Apart from Kapoor himself, the film also stars Mallika Sherawat, Kubbra Sait, Ranvir Shorey and Manu Rishi Chadha. 

RK/RKay had a limited release in the US and Canada on 14 May. 

The film has a quirky storyline about a filmmaker named RK (Kapoor) who is faced with a nightmare after a character from his upcoming movie jumps out of the screen during the editing of the film and takes control of the plot. RK and his team must get hold of him and send him back into the film. 

RK/RKay has received appreciation at the Shanghai International Film Festival, River to River Festival in Florence, Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival in South Korea, the Austin Film Festival and Pune International Film Festival. 

Speaking about the film, Kapoor said in a statement, “RK/RKay is an idea that had been with me for the last 10 years almost. Slowly it evolved to find its present form. It’s a mad film and I mean that in the best possible meaning of mad. It is unconventional, it is wacky and fun and has a distinct taste. Can’t wait to share this with our audience.” 

RK/RKay is partly crowd-funded and produced by Kapoor under his banner Mithya Talkies along with Priyanshi Films.
