With the kind of storyline that 'Rubaroo' boasts of, we sense a masterpiece. Here's turning the spotlight on.

When he returns after a gap of 30 years, he produces a play called 'RK in Russia', which is heavily inspired by the mega-magical actor-producer-director Raj Kapoor.

But since they have a deadline to meet, they keep rehearsing for the impending show, even as they wait for help to arrive.
