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.

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.
