Inside Rana Daggubati's family home in Hyderabad: Rs 45 crore mansion with a royal gate, spiral staircase converted into a dreamy restaurant
Rana Daggubati, who comes from the illustrious Daggubati–Akkineni family, is the grandson of producer D Ramanaidu. Rana has previously shared that when his family moved to Jubilee Hills area of Hyderabad, which is now one of the most posh areas of the city, it was a barren land with only a few houses. It was in one of these houses in Film Nagar, Jubilee Hills that Rana spent his childhood, and the house has now been converted into a restaurant called Sanctuary.
The restaurant is located in a prime area in the city and the property is valued at around Rs 45 crore, as per ET Now. The basic structure of the house still stands, and the restaurant has been created inside the existing framework. In an earlier video shared on Aashritha Daggubati's YouTube channel Infinity Platter, Rana gave a tour of the house as he recalled some memories of his childhood.

The exterior gardens of the house have also been converted into a dining space that is beautifully lit at night. Apart from Hyderabad, the restaurant has another branch in Goa.
Rana, in a chat on Infinity Platter, shared that he would sneak out of the house in his childhood years when his grandfather wasn't keeping an eye on him. He also recalled that he once fell off the spiral staircase as he was trying to slide down the banister and hurt himself.
Rana currently resides in a luxurious mansion in the Jubilee Hills area of Hyderabad with his wife Miheeka.

'Main waisa nahi hoon…', This actor was scared by his own role after watching himself in this Rs 190 crore film; his name is…, movie was…
Over four decades in cinema, and yet there are roles that even legends hesitate to revisit. Sanjay Dutt—known for his acting skills, his stardom, and his layered legacy—recently recalled one such role that left even him disturbed. From his debut in Rocky (1981) to his reign in the '80s and '90s as a bonafide superstar, Dutt has worn many faces on screen—romantic hero, action star, and in recent years, menacing antagonist. As time evolved, so did his on-screen persona. Now, Sanju Baba often embraces complex supporting and negative roles. But among them, one stands out in his memory for all the right and wrong reasons. Sanjay Dutt's most challenging film was… It was during a television show when host Saumya Tandon asked him which film he found the most challenging. Without hesitation, Dutt replied, 'Ek toh mere liye Naam thi (1986) aur ek Agneepath (2012).' Talking about Agneepath, Dutt recalled how portraying the villainous 'Kaancha Cheena' deeply unsettled him. He said, 'Agneepath ka jo mera kirdaar tha, main basically waisa aadmi nahi hoon. Hrithik Roshan mere chhote bhai jaisa hai. Usko chaku maarna tha, ghaseetna tha. Jab main dubbing kar raha tha, main apne aap ko dekh ke dar gaya tha.' That fear, he admitted, came from how far removed the character was from his real self. Released in 2012, Agneepath was a remake of the 1990 cult film starring Amitabh Bachchan. Directed by Karan Malhotra, the film featured Hrithik Roshan as Vijay Deenanath Chauhan and Priyanka Chopra as Kali Gawde. Dutt's transformation into the bald, cold-blooded crime lord Kaancha Cheena was both terrifying and iconic. His performance was met with acclaim, proving that he could be just as unforgettable in darkness as he was in glory. Interestingly, it wasn't the only role that tested him. Dutt also listed Naam (1986), an emotional rollercoaster of a film, as one of the most difficult projects of his career. Despite the discomfort it caused him, Agneepath became a roaring success. The film grossed over Rs 190 crore worldwide and solidified Dutt's place as one of Bollywood's most versatile actors, even when playing a monster that scared him.

Actor Soubin Shahir gets anticipatory bail in ‘Manjummel Boys' cheating case
Kochi: Actor Soubin Shahir, his father Babu Shahir and Shawn Antony, the producers of the hit Malayalam movie 'Manjummel Boys', have been granted anticipatory bail by high court in a financial cheating case related to the film's production. The bench of Justice Bechu Kurian Thomas on Thursday held that custodial interrogation of the petitioners was not necessary, noting that the case involved elements of a commercial dispute. However, HC granted limited custody of the petitioners to facilitate the investigation and directed them to appear before the investigating officer on July 7 and 8 for interrogation. The officer may interrogate them between 10am and 5pm, and in the event of arrest, they shall be released on bail, the court ordered. The case stems from a complaint filed by Siraj Valiyathara of Aroor before the Ernakulam magistrate court, alleging that Parava Films LLP, owned by the accused, had solicited his investment for the production of 'Manjummel Boys'. As per an agreement dated Nov 30, 2022, he invested a total of Rs 7 crore through multiple transactions. Despite the commercial success of the film, the petitioners allegedly failed to honour the profit-sharing agreement. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Top Public Speaking Course for Children Planet Spark Book Now Undo According to the police report, although the film grossed Rs 286 crore, the accused failed to pay Siraj his rightful share of profits, amounting to Rs 40 crore. While considering the anticipatory bail plea, HC observed that the relationship between the parties primarily falls within the realm of a business transaction and that the resulting dispute lies in the commercial sphere. However, since another single bench had already declined to quash the proceedings, the court noted that it cannot be treated as a purely commercial dispute and acknowledged that an element of criminality appears to exist. Based on this, and after considering the need for custodial interrogation, the bench granted anticipatory bail to the petitioners.

The Ganji Wars: Bollywood's bicep-baring battle for underpants supremacy
My ear-to-ear knowing grin and slow mental clap threatened to topple me off my potty. In my hand was a local Guwahati newspaper in which a Bollywood actor, 15 years into his career, is smiling in his jeans and sleeveless vest like he's finally found the meaning of life. Now this actor is really an actor, a chameleon on screen who has won almost every award in Bollywood's firmament. But in the glittering cosmos of Bollywood, this is the celestial event that marks his rise to true stardom. Forget Oscars, Filmfare or National Awards; nothing screams "I've made it!" louder than a sleeveless vest and a pair of elastic chaddis. Let's rewind about a decade, to the Great Indian Bollywood Underwear Uprising. Gossip has it that once upon a Bandra balcony, a starlet – let's call him 'Mr. Salad' – fired his entire team. Their crime? Failing to secure him a baniyan endorsement. Priorities, right? He thought his dad-bod-free physique, sculpted via hours in the gym and flings with every Tina, Diksha and Harita, deserved better. Fast-forward: Captain underpants' abs now gleam on billboards, his grin plastered across traffic signals. Status achieved. But why this obsession with endorsing what is essentially a cotton conspiracy? Is it to attract the female gaze? Unlikely. Most women, bless their souls, aren't swooning over men vacuum-sealed into their underpants. Are moms and wives buying undies for sons and spouses who look grown only in their bodies, not minds, and still don't do their laundry? Maybe. Or perhaps it's simpler: Bollywood's macho meter now runs on who can flex harder in a vest. Salman Khan? Dixcy Scott & Lux Venus. Shah Rukh? Lux Cozi. Ranveer Singh? Rupa Frontline. Ajay Devgn, Amul Comfy. Hrithik Roshan, Macroman 20 years ago, a mantle he passed to Ranbir Kapoor in the last decade. Even the common man-hero Ayushmann Khurrana announced his jacked-up physique by appearing in Ranjit Smart ads. And the newest kid on the block who's grinning in hoardings and papers across the nation: Rajkumar Rao, bulked up fresh from his nearly Rs 1000 crore Stree 2 for TT Limited, because nothing says "superhit" like a pun about "FiTT". The lone wolf to buck this trend: Mr Perfectionist Aamir Khan, who has, so far, dodged the underwear-industrial complex in his 52-year acting career. His closest brush? A Ghajini scene where Asin jokes about him modelling elastic chaddis . "Zoro elastic chaddi. Ye ad aaya toh tumhari nikal padegi," she quips, imagining banners of him in briefs from Lokhandwala to Marine Drive. Aamir, ever the enigma, has chosen artistic integrity over bicep-baring glory despite bulking up for multiple roles in the last two decades. Meanwhile, every other Bollywood star's IMDb tacitly screams: "Actor. Dancer. Underwear Model." The why of the matter doesn't need any serious dissection. For starters, it's a cheat code. Minimal dialogue, maximum cash. Why slog through a 3-hour epic when you can just… stand there? Shirtless. Smiling. Maybe holding a comb, or a woman's soft back. It's egalitarian in a way. Female stars endure endless scrutiny over saris and bikinis; male stars "sacrifice" by maintaining six-packs for the greater good of… underwear sales. Plus, the paycheck? A cool ₹6-10 crore; enough to buy a private island – Kailasa Redux anyone? But the real trigger? It's a status war. Landing a ganji ad is like receiving a golden ticket to the Bollywood Illuminati. Take Rajkumar Rao. For years, his body was deemed lean and unfit for mass appeal. Then he bulked up in 2020 for Badhai Do, his well-toned muscles going viral, and voilà! The vest bet was on. His agency is now negotiating deals faster than you can say "TT ka FiTT". And the ads themselves? A masterclass in absurdity. Salman Khan once chased a rogue vest across town, followed by a mob of inexplicably enthusiastic extras. Why? Because logic is overrated when you're selling underwear, and because, as Khansaab declared, "Sabko Mangta Hai." Akshay Kumar does something similar, ripping through an office to get to his vest. While Saif Ali Khan castigated a chicken: 'Hindi nahi aati' when she laid only two eggs on his kitchen table when he had specifically demanded three in an Amul Macho ad that proved that muscles are optional, but confidence is mandatory. But wait, what about the ladies? Logic dictates that female stars with their hot bods should dominate innerwear ads. Yet, the industry remains a boys' club. Exceptions exist, but mostly, it's men preening in vests while women… well, they're busy being judged for what they wear, or don't, in real life. This is equality, Bollywood-istyle . So next time you spot a Bollywood hunk selling innerwear, remember: it's not just fabric. It's a flex. A declaration. A cosmic knock on the door of stardom. And if you ever meet Aamir Khan, ask him if he is ready to badlo his kismat via Zoro elastic chaddis with hoardings from Chandigarh to Calicut. P.S.: In case you're wondering if the chicken understood Saif's Hindi, she did, and laid the third egg, which Saif baba in ganji promptly made an omelette of – poor cow belt chicken.
