Bollywood couple, Ranbir Kapoor and Alia Bhatt, returned to Mumbai from Italy after a week-long pre-wedding celebrations of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant. Upon arrival on Monday, another set of wheels was added to their impressive car collection. This time, they’ve opted for a luxurious Lexus LM, reportedly priced at over Rs. 2.5 crores (on-road).
According to India Today, a video of the sleek silver MPV arriving at their residence has been making waves on the internet. Known as a Multi-Purpose Vehicle (MPV), it offers ample space and top-of-the-line features, making it a perfect choice for a growing family. The viral video provides a glimpse of their new silver Lexus LM arriving at their apartment complex, named Vaastu. While details about the specific variant they purchased haven’t been revealed, the LM offers two main trims: the 7-seater and the more spacious 4-seater. The 4-seater option boasts features like reclining rear seats with massage functions, a refrigerator, and even an entertainment system for rear passengers.
Back in April, Ranbir was spotted cruising in a brand-new Bentley Continental GT V8, estimated to cost around Rs. 6 crores. The dark sapphire blue beauty boasts an ex-showroom price of Rs. 5.2 crores, with the on-road price reaching a staggering Rs. 6 crores, according to CarDekho. Last year, Ranbir also added a luxurious Range Rover worth Rs. 4 crores to his collection.
On the work front, Ranbir Kapoor was last seen in the movie Animal and is currently busy filming for Ramayana directed by Nitesh Tiwari, where he’ll be sharing screen space with Sai Pallavi. The actor will also star in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Love & War with Alia Bhatt and Vicky Kaushal.

Actress Adah Sharma has finally confirmed months-long speculation by revealing she moved into the Bandra apartment previously rented by the late Sushant Singh Rajput. In a recent interview with Bombay Times, Adah disclosed that she relocated to the Mont Blanc Apartments four months ago with her mother and grandmother. The apartment had been vacant for three years before Adah signed a five-year lease.
Previously residing in Pali Hill for her entire life, this marks The Kerala Story actress’ first move. She cites a strong positive energy in the new space, which resonates with her. “Our homes in Kerala and Mumbai have been surrounded by trees and we used to feed birds and squirrels,” Sharma shared. “So, I wanted a home with a view and ample space to feed birds.”
The Hasee Toh Phasee actress has also begun personalizing the apartment. According to the interview, she has repainted the entire space white. Additionally, she has converted the first floor into a mandir (prayer room), a room on the top floor into a music room, and another room into a dedicated dance studio. The terrace has also been transformed into a garden, housing all her plants from her previous residence.
The apartment was previously rented by Sushant Singh Rajput until his passing in June 2020. It remained unoccupied since then. Originally leased by Rajput in December 2019 for Rs 4.5 lakh per month, the spacious duplex boasts a large living area on the lower floor and three bedrooms on the top floor.

In November 2022, the industry, trade and moviegoers when it came to light that Akshay Kumar had bagged a Marathi film. Moreover, the makers announced that the star will play Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in the historical period flick titled Vedat Marathe Veer Daudle Saat. A month later, Akshay dropped a short video of him as the great emperor and it immediately caught eyeballs. During the launch event, the makers announced that the film would be released on Diwali 2023. In September last year, there were reports that the film had been postponed. After that, there has been no update about the film.
Bollywood Hungama has learned that the status of Vedat Marathe Veer Daudle Saat is in limbo. A source told us, “The shoot has been halted. This is because producer Vaseem Qureshi is facing budget problems.”
The source continued, “Around 50% of the shoot is completed. Akshay Kumar has a guest appearance and has shot for 3 days. He has also been paid a chunk of his fees.” It was, however, not clear if Akshay has completed his shoot or if he will be required to report back on the sets of Vedat Marathe Veer Daudle Saat, once the filming resumes.
The source also said, “There’s no update on when the issues will get sorted and when the remainder of the shoot will get completed. And obviously, there’s no clarity on its release date either.” Bollywood Hungama tried contacting the spokesperson of Vaseem Qureshi but he was unavailable for comment.
Vedat Marathe Veer Daudle Saat is directed by Mahesh Manjrekar and also stars his son Satya along with Pravin Tarde, Jay Dudhane, Hardik Joshi, Vishal Nikam, Utkarsh Shinde and Virat Madke. It is also going to be dubbed in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu.
An industry insider, however, commented, “These things happen. There’s no reason to press the panic button. It’s a big film, involving names like Akshay Kumar and Mahesh Manjrekar. I am sure the issues will get sorted and the shoot will resume soon. Vedat Marathe Veer Daudle Saat has the potential to be a huge hit due to the subject, scale and of course Akshay’s starry presence.”
