Jaideep Ahlawat's remuneration
Once known as a struggling actor making quiet cameos in ensemble casts, Jaideep Ahlawat has today emerged as one of the most formidable performers in Indian cinema—and now, as a serious name in Mumbai's luxury property market. With two real estate purchases worth ₹20 crore in just two months, the Paatal Lok star's financial graph appears to be rising almost as rapidly as his fame.Jaideep, who was recently seen in Netflix's Jewel Thief – The Heist Begins, continues to impress with his grounded yet gripping performances. A graduate of FTII Pune, he started his film journey with roles in Khatta Meetha, Commando, Gangs of Wasseypur, and Raazi, but it was Amazon Prime's Paatal Lok that catapulted him into the national spotlight. Since then, his reputation for intense, layered roles has made him one of India's most respected character actors.According to the Indian Express, the actor purchased a Rs 10 crore luxury apartment in May 2025 in Poorna Apartments, Andheri West. As per property documents reviewed by Square Yards, he bought a second apartment in the same building just two weeks later, also priced at Rs 10 crore. Each apartment comes with a 1,950 sq ft carpet area, a built-up area of 217.47 sq m, and four dedicated parking spots. Together, the couple reportedly paid Rs 60 lakh in stamp duty and Rs 30,000 in registration fees.With back-to-back real estate investments and big-ticket acting projects, Jaideep's financial profile has seen a sharp upward turn. Masala! reported that the actor allegedly charged Rs 20 crore for Paatal Lok Season 2, raising his net worth from Rs 8 crore to a reported Rs 28 crore. However, Jaideep cheekily dismissed these figures in an interview, questioning where all that money really was.Hailing from Haryana, Jaideep Ahlawat has also reportedly acquired multiple properties and luxury cars—including a Mercedes-Benz GLS SUV valued at Rs 1.32 crore, according to Masala! In an old interview with Ranveer Allahbadia, the actor revealed that his biggest regret was not being able to join the Indian Army, which he described as his "first love."Jaideep Ahlawat has films like Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand's King, Sriram Raghavan's Ikkis and Vipul Amrutlal Shah's Hisaab, which will also feature the director's wife and actress Shefali Shah and Paatal Lok fame Abhishek Banerjee

Visitors complain of ‘poor' facilities at amusement park
Bhubaneswar: Visitors to BDA City Centre, formerly known as Nicco Park, have expressed dissatisfaction with the facility's deteriorating conditions despite an entry fee of Rs 100. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Once a bustling hub of entertainment, the park now leaves visitors disheartened, with many questioning the value of the entry fee given the subpar experience. The park, which previously boasted a variety of attractions, including a mini toy train, merry-go-round, caterpillar, tilt-a-whirl, moonraker and boating, now offers only three operational rides — the vortex ride, water coaster and striking car. The reduction in available attractions has left many visitors feeling short-changed. G Nikita, a resident, shared her disappointment after a recent visit. "We saw the photos of the park and facilities and went there to spend a good time. First they took Rs 700 for seven people, but the rides they provided were not up to the mark. The other city parks are way better," she claimed. Siddhant Kumar Barai, a corporate employee, said, "The worst part is the odour. The water coasters are in a dilapidated condition. The pond for boating also stinks." In response, the Bhubaneswar Development Authority (BDA) has announced plans for a comprehensive redevelopment of the park. The ambitious project, at an estimated budget of Rs 200 crore, will include the development of a 3.5-km stormwater channel and a lake zone along drainage channel 10 near Smart Janpath. BDA vice-chairman N Thirumala Naik said, "The issue was discussed recently at a high-level meeting and it was decided that an agency will be roped in for redevelopment of the park." Tired of too many ads? go ad free now A tender for the project is expected to be floated soon. Suprabha Dhal, from the park's operating team, attributed the decline in visitor numbers to damage from past cyclones and the impact of Covid-19 pandemic. "Earlier, the daily footfall used to be 5,000, but now there are not more than 200 visitors. The govt is planning a revamp of the park and will allocate funds for the purpose. We are hopeful the park will return to its earlier glory soon," Dhal said.

John Cho, Kal Penn to return in new Harold & Kumar film? Here are latest updates
Cobra Kai creators are developing a new Harold & Kumar movie. John Cho and Kal Penn are expected to return in the cult comedy's latest adventure. The trio behind Netflix's breakout series Cobra Kai-Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg and Josh Heald are developing a brand-new Harold & Kumar film, reported Deadline. The project is being backed by Lionsgate's Mandate Pictures, the same studio that supported the stoner duo's original escapades two decades ago. This marks a homecoming of sorts for the creators, who launched their Hollywood careers with the now-iconic franchise. They co-wrote the first film, Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle, back in 2004 and later made their directorial debut with 2008's Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay. While casting is still being finalised, John Cho and Kal Penn who played Harold Lee and Kumar Patel are reportedly in talks to reprise their roles. Though their deals aren't officially closed, sources suggest both actors are likely to return for this new chapter. Hurwitz and Schlossberg will direct the film from a script co-written with Heald. The trio will also produce under their Counterbalance Entertainment banner, alongside longtime franchise collaborator Greg Shapiro. Nathan Kahane, who currently serves as Lionsgate's Motion Picture Group President, is also on board as producer, just before his planned departure from the studio. Dina Hillier will executive produce for Counterbalance, reported Deadline. What started as a modest box office performer has grown into a full-blown cult classic. The original Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle may not have made headlines during its theatrical run, but its life on DVD was a different story altogether. That sleeper success spawned two sequels, Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay (2008) and A Very Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas (2011). All three films raked in a combined $104 million worldwide. The franchise has built a loyal fanbase thanks to its absurd humor, sharp commentary and offbeat chemistry between the leads. Is a new Harold & Kumar movie officially happening? Yes, it is currently in development with the creators of Cobra Kai at the helm. They haven't signed officially yet, but are expected to reprise their roles. How many Harold & Kumar films are there so far? Three: White Castle (2004), Guantanamo Bay (2008), and 3D Christmas (2011).
