Akshay Kumar earns Rs 110 crore in just 7 months without a single shot on camera, here's how
Bollywood star Akshay Kumar has been busy at the box office in 2025, with three films already hitting theatres in the first six months and more lined up. But away from the silver screen, he's been making big moves in real estate. Over the last seven months, the actor has earned a staggering Rs 110 crore — all from selling his properties. Which high-profile property was sold? According to IndexTap documents, Akshay and his wife, Twinkle Khanna, sold their plush apartment in the Oberoi Three Sixty West project, located in Mumbai's Worli, for Rs 80 crore. This luxury property was one of the most talked-about transactions in the city's real estate circles this year. What about his Borivali apartments? As per Square Yards documents, Akshay sold multiple units in Oberoi Sky City, Borivali (East). A 3BHK apartment measuring 1,073 sq ft went for Rs 4.25 crore. Another 3BHK unit, with two parking spaces, fetched Rs 4.35 crore in March 2025. Two connected residential properties in the same complex sold for Rs 7.10 crore. Two more apartments were sold for Rs 6.60 crore in total — one priced at Rs 5.35 crore and the other at Rs 1.35 crore. Did he sell any commercial space? Yes. According to Hindustan Times, Akshay sold his office located in One Place Lodha Complex, Lower Parel, for Rs 8 crore earlier this year. Why is this making news? In just a few months, Akshay has made multiple high-value real estate deals, making him one of the most active celebrity property sellers of the year. While his films continue to pull crowds, his knack for strategic investments and timely sales is proving equally headline-worthy. From luxury apartments in Worli to prime commercial space in Lower Parel and multiple residential units in Borivali, Akshay Kumar's property portfolio has undergone a serious reshuffle in 2025, with Rs 110 crore flowing in from sales alone.

Actor Faisal Malik says RGV, Anurag Kashyap changed the game for struggling actors
'Panchayat' actor Faisal Malik, who rose to fame for his role in the widely loved Prime series, recently spoke about how filmmakers like Ram Gopal Varma and Anurag Kashyap changed the face of Indian cinema by breaking the long-held stereotype that actors must look a certain way to an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Faisal reflected on how these directors opened doors for average-looking people with genuine talent. 'I think it is Ram Gopal Varma who made us believe that we don't have to have an attractive physique to be an actor. The era 2003-2004 was all about 'acting aaye na aaye body hona chahiye' (You need to look fit to be an actor),' he Faisal has never worked directly with Ram Gopal Varma, he fondly recalled visiting his production house, Factory. 'I visited his office, Factory, once. They, however, didn't let me meet him. So, I returned from there,' he said. He also mentioned how aspiring actors would gather outside the office, hoping to be cast by RGV. 'There used to be a bread pakoda stall outside Factory. People used to stand in huge queues there because they believed that hanging out there might increase their chances of being picked by Ram Gopal Varma. Everybody knew he only picked average-looking people for his movies.'Faisal believes that Anurag Kashyap carried this inclusive casting forward. 'After Ram Gopal Varma, it is Anurag Kashyap who took this forward of working with average-looking people. There was a time when people used to fear that if you don't look a certain way, you cannot be an actor. But, that has changed. Now, you see there are many great actors out there who may not have good looks or attractive physique.'Faisal began his acting journey with Kashyap's 2012 cult film 'Gangs of Wasseypur' and has continued to collaborate with him. Speaking highly of the filmmaker, he said, 'Anurag Kashyap is that rare person who knows what he is making. He knows his work.'He also addressed Anurag's frequent outbursts on social media, saying, 'If you will look at Anurag Kashyap's work, you will know why all the outbursts happen. He is someone who has worked as a showrunner, writer, producer as well as director. He is extremely loyal. Aur imaandaar aadmi tedha hota hai thoda sa. Satak jata hai (And an honest man is usually a little quirky. He tends to lose his temper sometimes.)'Praising Kashyap's deep commitment to cinema, Faisal added, 'He is someone who breathes cinema. He is so deeply invested in it that he cannot do anything else. Even moving a simple coffee machine will be a task for him, but cinema? He can discuss it all day long without getting tired.'Justifying Anurag's frustration with the industry, he concluded, 'He has made several iconic films and has given several amazing directors to the industry. They are all doing so well today. This proves he is extremely dedicated to cinema. So, whenever someone wrongs him or wants him to compromise with his craft, woh satak jaate hai. When it comes to cinema, he is a great man.'Faisal Malik became a household name with 'Panchayat', a show that became an unexpected hit during the pandemic. Starring Neena Gupta, Raghubir Yadav, Jitendra Kumar, and Chandan Roy, the series stood out for its simplicity, realism, and relatable characters, none of whom were conventional 'heroes,' but all of whom connected deeply with audiences.- EndsMust Watch

Made for Rs 1,817 crore, earned Rs 17,400 crore, The Conjuring Universe set to end after a decade of horror?
In 2013, a spine-chilling horror film arrived, one that won over both audiences and critics. Made on a budget of Rs 1,817 crore, it went on to earn a jaw-dropping Rs 17,400 crore worldwide. That film was The Conjuring. It didn't just scare people, it reshaped the very definition of fear. Based on true cases investigated by famed paranormal researchers Ed and Lorraine Warren, the film gave birth to The Conjuring Universe, Hollywood's most successful horror franchise. How did the saga grow? The first film's popularity was so massive that finding a ticket in theatres became a task. In India, too, it performed phenomenally. Globally, it crossed Rs 2,650 crore at the box office. Then came the spin-offs and sequels. Annabelle (2014) The Conjuring 2 (2016) Annabelle: Creation (2017) The Nun (2018) Annabelle Comes Home (2019) The Conjuring: The Devil Made Me Do It (2021), based on a real murder case The Nun 2 (2023) Each film found its way to haunt audiences, adding to the franchise's massive earnings and cementing its cult status. Why did it become a phenomenon? The success was not just about jump scares. The stories, rooted in alleged real-life events, gave the terror a raw edge. Ed and Lorraine Warren's case files became the backbone of the franchise, making the supernatural feel unsettlingly real. It also proved one thing — horror as a genre never truly fades. If anything, The Conjuring Universe made it stronger than ever, scaring generations and setting box office benchmarks. When does the curtain fall? After more than a decade of nightmares, the saga is preparing to end. The final chapter of The Conjuring Universe is set to release later this year. Fans are bracing themselves for one last plunge into the darkness, a farewell to the world that turned fear into an art form.
