From Flop Debut To Rs 150 Crore Ramayana Role: The Rise Of Bollywood's Most Bankable Star

News1817-07-2025
Let's dive into the inspiring story of a Bollywood actor whose career began with a flop but who has since become one of the industry's most bankable stars. In just 18 years, Ranbir Kapoor has gone from a disappointing debut to commanding a fee of Rs 150 crore for his role as Lord Ram in the upcoming two-part epic Ramayana.
Ranbir Kapoor made his film debut in 2007 with Saawariya, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali. The film also launched Sonam Kapoor's career. Despite the high expectations and artistic direction, Saawariya turned out to be a box office failure.
Ranbir Kapoor's lifestyle mirrors his success. His car collection is both impressive and enviable, featuring luxury vehicles like the Bentley Continental GT, worth Rs 8 crore, and a Range Rover Autobiography, priced at Rs 3.27 crore. His garage also includes a Mercedes AMG G63 and an Audi R8, among others.

In terms of real estate, Ranbir Kapoor owns the Krishna Raj Bungalow in Bandra, a family residence valued at approximately Rs 250 crore. He also owns the Vastu apartment in Pali Hill, estimated to be worth Rs 35 crore. In addition, he has a flat in Trump Tower, Pune, which reportedly generates Rs 45 to Rs 48 lakh per year in rental income.
Ranbir Kapoor will soon appear as Lord Ram in Ramayana, a highly anticipated film directed by Nitesh Tiwari. The film will be released in two parts, and Ranbir has reportedly charged a combined fee of Rs 150 crore; Rs 75 crore for each part.
With a total production budget of Rs 1,600 crore, the film Ramayana is set to become one of India's most ambitious cinematic projects. The first part is scheduled to release in 2026, followed by part two in 2027.

This kid in China couldn't get a Labubu doll, so he caused damage worth $56,000 (Rs 40 lakhs) instead

While some call it scary and evil, others are simply fawning over it. The craze for Labubu dolls is getting out of hand, it seems. This kid from China, who was denied the elf-like creature, born a monster, from the Chinese toy maker Pop Mart, at a relative's home, chose violence and caused damage worth over $56,000 (over Rs 40 lakhs). Here's what happened. The family had visited their relative's place, where the toddler noticed a Labubu doll adorned with jewelry. The toy belonged to an influencer popularly known as Little Azheng or Tail Brother. The kid threw a tantrum when he was denied the doll, and threw a remote control in anger. He ended up shattering a mirrored glass ceiling worth US$14,000 and an Italian crystal chandelier worth US$41,000. What's worse is that the boy refused to apologise for the damage caused. The boy's parents offered only $2,500 (Rs 2 lakh) as compensation, which is far less than the actual damage. They said that they were poor and could only afford this much. They asked the influencer not to post about the incident on social media to protect the boy's image. Furthermore, they requested him not to involve the court and take a legal route Tail Brother agreed to accept the partial compensation because he had no other option. However, he criticised the family's use of kinship pressure and low offer.
