Actor Amitabh Bachchan, currently in the spotlight for his role in Nag Ashwin’s sci-fi film Kalki 2898 AD, has made headlines once again, this time for a significant real estate investment. Bachchan recently acquired a sprawling 20-acre plot of land in Alibaug, Maharashtra, valued at Rs 10 crore. The transaction, reportedly finalised last week, marks yet another strategic property purchase by the iconic actor.

According to a report by the Hindustan Times, Big B’s acquisition was from The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL), a renowned real estate developer. The purchase is linked to a project named A Alibaug, which was officially launched in April 2023.

This isn’t Amitabh’s first venture into real estate with HoABL. Earlier, the star invested in a plot within The Sarayu, a prestigious 7-star mixed-use enclave located in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, also developed by HoABL. The value of this property was estimated at Rs 14.5 crore. Situated just 15 minutes away from the famous temple, this project is scheduled for completion by March 2028 and is anticipated to feature a lavish five-star palace hotel.

Meanwhile, on the professional front, the anticipation for Kalki 2898 AD continues to build, with Amitabh’s character being introduced in a recent teaser released by the film’s makers. The teaser showcases Bachchan in the role of the immortal Ashwatthama. Alongside him, the film boasts an ensemble cast including Prabhas, Deepika Padukone, and Disha Patani in lead roles. The makers are expected to announce the release date today.

The Supreme Court of India has ruled in favour of Yash Raj Films (YRF) regarding the omission of the song ‘Jabra Fan’ from the Shah Rukh Khan starrer Fan. This verdict overturns a 2021 order by the National Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission (NCDRC) that had directed YRF to pay a compensation of Rs 10,000 to a moviegoer, who felt misled by the song’s absence in the film.

The case stemmed from a complaint filed by Afreen Fatima Zaidi, who argued that she and her children were disappointed by the exclusion of ‘Jabra Fan’ from the movie after seeing it promoted in trailers. Zaidi had claimed that this disappointment led to health issues for her children. The NCDRC had initially sided with Zaidi, deeming the promotional tactic an unfair trade practice under the Consumer Protection Act.

However, YRF challenged this decision in the Supreme Court, asserting that ‘Jabra Fan’ was solely a promotional song and not obligated to be included in the final film. A Supreme Court bench led by Justices P.S. Narasimha and Aravind Kumar ultimately agreed with YRF’s stance. The court’s decision clarifies the distinction between promotional content and the final film product.

“We have formulated as to what are the implications of a promo song and trailer, and the contractual obligations thereto. We have allowed the appeal,” the Supreme Court Bench said.
