Kangana Ranaut has reportedly sold her Pali Hill (Bandra, Mumbai) bungalow. If a report by Zapkey is to be believed, the actress sold this controversial property for Rs 32 crore recently. Kangana had reportedly purchased the property for Rs 20.7 crore in September 2017. She also took out a Rs 27 crore loan from ICICI Bank against the property in December 2022. The bungalow was used as the office for her production house, Manikarnika Films.
Last month, a YouTube page called Code Estate also shared a video revealing that a production house office is up for sale. Although the name of the production house and the owner were not revealed, the photos and visuals used in the video hinted that it was Kangana’s office. Several social media users also took to the comment section to guess that it was Kangana’s house.
The video’s description revealed that the bungalow comes with the piece of land it is built on. It also revealed that the plot Size is 285 square meters, with a construction area of 3042 sq ft. The house also has an additional parking space of 500 sq ft. The building has two floors and is priced at Rs 40 Crores.
This is the same property that came under the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) scanner in 2020. In September 2020, the BMC had demolished parts of Kangana’s office in Bandra citing illegal construction. The demolition work was stopped midway after a stay order from Bombay High Court on September 9. Kangana filed a case against BMC and even demanded Rs 2 crores for compensation from BMC but dropped her demands in May 2023.
All of this comes at a time when Kangana Ranaut is also awaiting the release of her movie, Emergency. The film was supposed to hit theatres on September 6 but has been postponed since it is still awaiting certification from the censor board. Emergency has been facing boycotts and ban calls. Several Sikh organisations have accused the film of presenting the community in the wrong light. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) and the Akhal Takht have also demanded an immediate ban on the film, claiming it tries to “character assassinate” Sikhs by creating a narrative against them.
