From Flop Debut To Rs 150 Crore Ramayana Role: The Rise Of Bollywood's Most Bankable Star
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. 9/12 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.

In Pune this week, Singapore comedian who has a witty name for Ranbir Kapoor's biopic
Stand-up comedian Sharul Channa's shows are packed with observations and comments on everyday matters, news, and social observations, and tend to leave audiences in splits. On June 19, Channa will perform her latest show Saree-ously Not Sorry at Godaam Specialty Coffee Co in Pune's Shivajinagar. Saree-ously Not Sorry, which explores current events and society, is a continuation of her earlier show, Saree Not Sorry, and taps into her Indian identity. Channa's father was from Delhi, and her mother from Punjab, and her family moved to Singapore when she was three. 'Although I have toured the world, performed in various cities, and grown up in a multicultural society, as an Indian woman, I believe that I, like many other Indian women, look best and beautiful in a saree. It represents our identity and dresses us up beautifully. I also plan on wearing sarees for all my shows, my entire lifetime. That's why Saree-ously Not Sorry!' she says. Trained in theatre at the prestigious Lasalle College of Arts, Channa combines theatrical storytelling with her stand-up performances, creating a rich experience. 'I read the news a lot, and I watch a lot of people. Touring across Southeast Asia has helped me connect more deeply with my voice and expression as a comedian. I have come to understand what resonates with audiences — especially in India — and where the invisible lines are drawn. I, now, know which jokes land, which ones don't, and which ones might get me an all-expenses-paid trip… to jail,' she says with a smile. She keeps a tab on Bollywood too. She says that when she found out that actor Ranbir Kapoor would be playing the role of Lord Ram in the film Ramayana, she kept thinking of his previous role in Animal. 'Now, if Ranbir Kapoor has a biopic, it will be called Kabhi Ram, Kabhi Haiwaan,' she quips. She also delves deeper into how people have been behaving lately. 'Lately, it feels like the world has turned into one big episode of reality TV, with frequent flyers, plane etiquette meltdowns, and relationship drama taking centre stage. We're constantly debating personal boundaries at 30,000 feet and questioning how we interact with one another on the ground. Amid all this, there's also the deeper question: Does the world need more children? Or do we need to first become better people?' Channa says stand-up comedians should take risks on stage, but they must also 'stand by it and take accountability'.

Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi's Rs 4000 crore Ramayana may sink at box office if these 3 things are NOT paid attention, the first is...
Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi's Rs 4000 crore Ramayana may sink at box office if these 3 things are NOT paid attention, the first is... Nitesh Tiwari's highly-anticipated epic tale- Ramayana is touted as the biggest Indian film ever made. Reason? Its staggering budget, exceptional VFX and terrific star-studded cast. Film's producer Namit Malhotra recently talked about the ambitious film and its budget. He revealed that all the production and marketing for both the installments of the film (Ramayana Part 1 and Ramayana Part 2) are done, and the costing is nothing less than staggering $500-million (Rs 4000 crore). Yes its unbelievable but true! The figure is higher than many Hollywood and Bollywood classics, naturally raising more than a few eyebrows. Interacting on The Prakhar Gupta Xperience podcast, Namit said, 'When we set out to make it, 6-7 years ago, when we really got serious about mounting it, everybody called me a lunatic, because no Indian film comes close to it budgetwise. To put it simply, it will be about $500 million by the time we are done with both the films – Part 1 and Part 2, which is over Rs 4000 crore.' He added, 'We are making the largest film in the world for the greatest story the world should see. I still think it is cheaper than some of the big Hollywood films. I think we are making a bigger film at a lower cost. That Indian in me still believes we are not being irresponsible with money.' Since the $500-million budget would mean that each of the two Ramayana films are assumed to earn $1 billion at the box office. These numbers have been scored by only global hits like Avatar, Avengers, Fast franchise etc at the box office. There is no Indian film that has ever grossed over Rs 2000 crore. In 2017, Nitesh Tiwari's Dangal grossed Rs 2000 crore, but over Rs 1300 crore came Internationally, specifically from China. The other highest-grossing Indian films like Pushpa 2: The Rise and Baahubali 2: The Conclusion , grossed over Rs 1700 crore worldwide. Moreover the makers will be using strong VFX for the larger-than-life theatrical experience. If the poor execution of visual effects or storytelling occur, it can affect the viewing experience and the film might appear cheap. Ramayana film must be handled with cultural sensitivity. If the fail doesn't resonate with the audience or capture the attention of the modern viewers, it can lead to negative views or box office disappointment. Ramayana stars Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Yash as Ravana, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Ravi Dubey as Lakshman, and Sunny Deol as Hanuman. Supporting the powerful cast is an extraordinary crew. For the first time, Music maestro AR Rahman will collaborate with the legendary Hans Zimmer, to craft a new cinematic symphony. Helmed by Nitesh Tiwari and bankrolled by Namit Malhotra's Prime Focus Studios and Yash's Monster Mind Creations, Ramayana Part 1 is scheduled for a release on Diwali 2026, and the second part on Diwali 2027.

Pritam says his job is to do justice to script and characters, and not visualise how songs would look on actors
Mumbai: Music composer Pritam, whose OST from ' Dino', has said that he doesn't make songs thinking how it would look on Bollywood actors. The music composer recently spoke with IANS, and shared that as a music composer, he considers it his responsibility to do justice to the script and the character, and not think about who is representing that character on screen, and how his track would look on them. Pritam told IANS, 'It is the hero. It is the protagonist who is important. It's the story. It's the character. 'Haanikaarak Bapu' was meant for Geeta and Babita ('Dangal') when they were young. So there shouldn't have been a glimpse of Aamir Khan in it. I'll give you a simple example. Ranbir Kapoor in 'Barfi' and Ranbir Kapoor in 'Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani'. So I was working with Ranbir Kapoor in parallel, these two films were being made around the same time'. ''Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' and 'Jagga Jasoos' were also overlapping. But, I was not making music for Ranbir Kapoor, I was making for those characters. He's not the same shade. So any artist getting into a project, it is the story which sparks it. It is not the actor. You don't make movies for Shah Rukh Khan or Aamir Khan or Ranbir Kapoor or Ranbir Singh. You make music for the character', he added. Earlier, Pritam had revealed that the cult-classic song 'Channa Mereya' was initially made for the Salman Khan-starrer 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', and not 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil'. 'Channa Mereya' is a modern heartbreak anthem, and boasts of a loyal following with more than 275 million streams on Spotify with daily streams clocking 2, 00, 000. That may not have been the case, had Kabir Khan picked the melody of 'Channa Mereya' for 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan' from Munni's POV. He earlier said, 'For the same situation of 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', I made 'Channa Mereya'. It got bounced from 'Bajrangi Bhaijaan', and it went to 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil''. 'Mukhra was the same, but the lyrics were different', he added.
