After acquiring the property, the Pakistan government is reportedly planning to reconstruct it and convert it into a museum.
Kumar's former home is located in Pesawar's famous Qisa Khawani Bazaar area.
It is currently illegally occupied by somebody claiming to be a relative of the actor.
The veteran actor and other members of his family will be invited to Pakistan for the inauguration of the museum.

The actor has starred in classic films including Naya Daur, Devdas, Madhumati and Mughal-e-Azam, acting in over 100 films since beginning his career in 1944.
