He said, "Acting? Pata nahi mereko kuch samajh mein nahi aata hai… Acting kaun hai, actor kaun hai, Animal kaun hai, Kapoor kaun hai? Mere ko kuch fark nahi padta. (I don't know. I don't understand. Who is acting? Who is the actor? Who is the Animal? Who is Kapoor? I don't care)."
Rahul Bhatt added, ' Baap acha hai bas. Main respect karta hoon. Apni bachi se bahut pyaar karta hai aur mere liye usse acha koi cheez matter nahin karti hai life mein, ye baaki naam, shaurat, Animal vanimal aayega jaayega ghoom fir ke baat aati hai. (He is a good father. That's it. I respect that and he loves his daughter; that's what matters to me. This name, fame, Animal, everything can come and go). He respects my stepsister. Everything is all supplemental."
Notably, Rahul Bhatt was referring to Ranbir Kapoor's 2023 blockbuster Animal. The film, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, also featured Rashmika Mandanna, Bobby Deol, Anil Kapoor, and Triptii Dimri in pivotal roles. Ranbir also bagged the Filmfare Award in the Best Actor category for Animal.

Alia & Ranbir's love nest is finally ready.' Compared to the video from last year, the home seems a little more complete, including greenery and fencing put in to protect the family's privacy. The house also looks more polished than the last time around, except for the front gate that's yet to be put in. A post shared by Viral Bhayani (@viralbhayani) People thought it was hilarious that the home was 'finally ready' but the gate was yet to be put in, cracking jokes about it. One person commented, 'Itna kharcha ho gaya ki naya gate banane k paise hi nai bache (It cost them so much they decided it doesn't need a new gate).' Another joked, 'Gate itna sasta kyu banaya Patre ka? (Why is the gate made of flatboard?)' One even wrote, 'Ranbir be like main gate nahi banwaunga (Ranbir be like, I won't get a new main gate)' An Instagram user wrote, 'main gate ko alag se fund jaari hoga?? (Does the main gate have a separate fund?)' Ranbir and Alia's home has been under construction for a few years now. The couple has often been spotted visiting the site when it was under construction with their daughter Raha Kapoor, or Ranbir's mom Neetu Kapoor. They currently live in Pali Hill. Ranbir was last seen in Sandeep Reddy Vanga's 2023 hit Animal in which he played the violent Ranvijay Singh, who is out for revenge. Alia was last seen in Vasan Bala's 2024 film Jigra, which did not make a mark at the box office.

Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt's Rs 250 Crore Mansion Is Finally Ready; Couple To Shift Soon
Last Updated: Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt's Rs 250 crore mansion, inherited from Ranbir's grandparents, is reportedly complete. The couple might move into their new space anytime soon. Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt have been waiting for the completion of their dream house, estimated to be worth a whopping Rs 250 crore. The property, which originally belonged to Ranbir's grandparents, Raj Kapoor and Krishna Raj Kapoor, was inherited by Rishi Kapoor and Neetu Kapoor, Ranbir's parents, in 1980. A video shows that the couple's six-story luxury mansion has finally been completed. As a result, there are high chances you'll see the couple move into their new house soon on an near-auspicious date. A post on Sunday made by celebrity paparazzo Viral Bhayani claimed that Alia and Ranbir's new house is finally complete. A video of their mansion shows potted green-coloured plants decorating each of their balconies, breaking the monotony of the grey look. 'New beginnings in a dream home! Alia & Ranbir's love nest is finally ready," read the caption. Take a look: Both Alia, Ranbir, their daughter Raha had been frequently spotted during the construction of their new house. Neetu Kapoor, too, had been clicked numerous times by paps. Ranbir and Alia's luxurious bungalow, named in honour of Ranbir's grandmother Krishna Raj Kapoor, is more than just a lavish property – it's a heartfelt gift to their daughter, Raha Kapoor. Valued at Rs 250 crore, the six-storey home is set to be registered in Raha's name, reflecting the couple's emotional investment in the residence. Last year, reports stated that the couple is most probably to celebrate Diwali in their new home. However, the house still needed time for completion. A Hindustan Times has quoted an insider saying, 'The ongoing work on their bungalow is almost done, with the finishing going on, which should take one month or so. After the work is done and they get a green signal, the couple will move into the place. It is the moment they have been looking forward to", adding, 'In fact, they will most probably be celebrating Diwali with Raha in the new house this year." 'The bungalow holds an emotional significance to the family, which is why everyone is so involved in the construction. Ranbir and Alia have made sure they take out time from their busy schedule and check the work status," said the insider. On the work front, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt are sharing screen space together again after Brahmastra, in Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War. The film also stars Vicky Kaushal.

Rana Daggubati On Deepika Padukone's 8-Hour Workday Request: "Nobody Is Forcing You..."
New Delhi: Deepika Padukone's exit from Spirit, directed by Animal filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga, has sparked conversations around work conditions and contractual terms in the Indian film industry. The actor, who recently became a mother, was reportedly dropped from the Prabhas-starrer due to differences over an 8-hour workday clause and profit-sharing arrangements. What Amid the ongoing debate, actor Rana Daggubati shared his perspective during an interview with The Lallantop. "We should understand that India is a developing country. We are not a developed nation. Our economy is probably 186th in the world if you look at per capita income," Rana said. He added, "In a country that has 1.8 billion people and 70-80 percent of those earn Rs 100 a day, when we start seeing things in that light, we realise we have a big place to catch up." Speaking about his experience in the Telugu film industry, he shared, "I come from an industry that moved from Madras. It was a bunch of families and hundreds of others who packed their bags and started over in another city. So to me, it's not work- it's a lifestyle." Rana also noted the differences in work culture across regions. "Like in Maharashtra, it's a 12-hour shift. In Telugu, it's 8 hours. But while Maharashtra starts at 9 am, Telugu starts at 7 am. If you're on location or in a studio, if you're shooting on a set, it all affects the equation. It's never generic," he explained. On the issue of actors being overworked or asked to extend their hours, Rana said, "Nobody is forcing anybody. It's a job. Just like nobody forces you to do a particular show - it's always a choice. Everyone decides what's important in their life. There are actors who shoot for only 4 hours, that's their system." Background Following Deepika's exit, Sandeep Reddy Vanga appeared to react strongly on social media. In a post on X, he wrote, "There is an unsaid NDA between us. But by doing this, you've 'disclosed' the person that you are." He also accused the actress of trying to "put down a younger actor" and questioned her feminism, adding, "You didn't get it. You won't get it. You will never get it." He added, "Aisa karo.... Agli baar poori kahani bolna... kyunki mujhe jarra bhi farak nahi padtha. #dirtyPRgames. I like this kahawath very much!" Following Padukone's reported exit, actor Triptii Dimri has been confirmed as the female lead in Spirit. Dimri, who previously appeared in Vanga's Animal, announced the news on social media by sharing the film's title poster with her name written in multiple Indian and international languages. In the caption, she wrote, "Still sinking in... So grateful to be trusted with this journey. Thank you @ Honoured to be a part of your vision." Meanwhile, reports also suggested that the actress might be dropped from Kalki 2, starring Prabhas, due to her request for shorter work hours post-motherhood. A report by stated that this request is reportedly causing "friction on sets." However, no official statement has been issued by Padukone or the makers. A source close to the development has since refuted the claims, calling the reports "untrue". In A Nutshell Deepika Padukone was reportedly dropped from the film Spirit due to reported issues over work hours and profit sharing. The film's director, Sandeep Reddy Vanga, reacted strongly online without naming her. Actor Rana Daggubati later shared a more balanced view, saying work rules differ in each industry.
