Sajid Nadiadwala’s Nadiadwala Grandson seals 11-month Andheri office space deal; pays Rs. 55 lakhs upfront

Sajid Nadiadwala’s Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment Private Limited has expanded its office footprint in Mumbai with a new lease at Lotus Grandeur in Andheri West. The production house has taken two office units on the eighth floor of the commercial complex, along with two reserved parking spaces.

According to property documents, the 11-month agreement with Rhea and Dia Enterprises carries a monthly licence fee of Rs. 5 lakhs. The total licence fee of Rs. 55 lakhs for the tenure was paid on September 16, 2026. The agreement was registered on September 21 and the licence period begins on November 1, 2026.

The premises are Office Nos. 801 and 802, adding two more units to Nadiadwala Grandson’s presence at the property. A fit-out period has also been provided from September 21 to October 31, ahead of the commencement of the licence period.

Interestingly, this is not the production house’s first transaction involving the same property. Earlier this year, two other office units on the eighth floor, Nos. 803 and 804 were leased for a 28-month period beginning August 1, 2026. That agreement carries a monthly licence fee of Rs. 8.27 lakhs, with a 5% escalation after every 12 months, along with a Rs. 30 lakhs security deposit.

The latest transaction therefore takes the number of office units occupied by Nadiadwala Grandson at Lotus Grandeur to four.

Founded by Sajid Nadiadwala, Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment has been behind several prominent Hindi film projects and continues to maintain a significant business presence in Mumbai, one of the country's key entertainment hubs.

With the latest deal, the production banner has added two more office spaces to its Andheri operations, taking its total presence at the commercial property to four units.

Amitabh Bachchan BEATS Shah Rukh Khan by just 1 lakh followers in Hurun Rich List 2025 Social Media Data

The M3M Hurun India Rich List 2025 not only puts the spotlight on India’s wealthiest names but also offers an interesting glimpse into the enormous digital influence commanded by some of its notable entrants. While the list spans entertainment, business and technology, Bollywood personalities occupy the top three spots when it comes to social media following, with Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan emerging as the biggest names.

According to the report, Amitabh Bachchan has a social media following of 487 lakh (4.87 crore) across X (formerly Twitter), Instagram and LinkedIn, based on the maximum follower count across these platforms. Shah Rukh Khan follows extremely closely with 486 lakh (4.86 crore), while Hrithik Roshan stands at 481 lakh (4.81 crore). The numbers underline just how formidable the digital reach of Bollywood’s biggest stars remains even alongside some of India’s most influential business and technology leaders.

The gap between the top three is remarkably narrow. Amitabh Bachchan leads Shah Rukh Khan by just 1 lakh followers, while Hrithik Roshan is only 6 lakh behind Bachchan. Together, the three Bollywood superstars account for an astounding 1,454 lakh, or 14.54 crore followers.

Karan Johar is the next Bollywood name featured in the table, with 182 lakh (1.82 crore) followers. His following is significantly ahead of several prominent business and technology figures included in the report.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has 116 lakh followers, followed closely by Anand Mahindra at 115 lakh. Google CEO Sundar Pichai has a following of 56 lakh, while Bollywood actor and entrepreneur Juhi Chawla and family register 53 lakh followers. Infosys co-founder Nandan Nilekani has 24 lakh, while entrepreneur and producer Ronnie Screwvala has 19 lakh.

The figures present an intriguing picture of influence beyond balance sheets. The M3M Hurun India Rich List 2025 features 1,687 individuals with wealth of at least Rs. 1,000 crore across 91 cities, highlighting the scale of wealth creation being tracked by the annual list.

Yet, when it comes to connecting with millions of people directly through social platforms, Bollywood’s enduring icons remain a force of their own. With Amitabh Bachchan, Shah Rukh Khan and Hrithik Roshan collectively commanding more than 14.5 crore followers, the numbers show that their influence extends well beyond the big screen.

Hurun Rich List 2025: Shah Rukh Khan’s Rs. 12,490 crore wealth surpasses the combined wealth of Juhi Chawla, Hrithik Roshan & Karan Johar

Bollywood's biggest stars have long commanded massive fan followings and impressive box office numbers, but their fortunes increasingly extend far beyond films. The M3M Hurun India Rich List 2025 offers a glimpse into the business empires built by some of the industry's most prominent personalities, with Shah Rukh Khan and family emerging as the wealthiest Bollywood names on the list.

According to the report, Shah Rukh Khan and family have a reported wealth of Rs. 12,490 crore, placing them at the top of the list of Bollywood's wealthiest personalities. The actor's association with Red Chillies Entertainment has evolved into a diverse entertainment business, making his wealth significantly broader than his earnings as a performer.

Taking the second position is Juhi Chawla and family, with a reported wealth of Rs. 7,790 crore. A major factor behind the family's business interests is their association with Knight Riders Sports, giving the actress a significant presence beyond the film industry.

Hrithik Roshan occupies the third spot with wealth pegged at Rs. 2,160 crore. His business portfolio is represented by HRX, the brand that has expanded his presence into the lifestyle and fitness space. His ranking highlights how celebrity-led consumer brands have become an important part of the modern Bollywood business ecosystem.

At number four is filmmaker and producer Karan Yash Johar, who has a reported wealth of Rs. 1,880 crore. His association with Dharma Productions remains central to his business identity, with the production house continuing to be one of the prominent names in the Hindi entertainment industry.

Completing the top five is Amitabh Bachchan and family, with reported wealth of Rs. 1,630 crore. Unlike the other entries, the table lists investments as the associated business category, reflecting the wider financial interests built by the veteran actor and his family over the years.

Together, the five entries represent a reported Rs. 25,950 crore in wealth. More significantly, the ranking illustrates how Bollywood's biggest names have transformed their stardom into wider business portfolios, spanning entertainment, sports, brands and investments.

Shah Rukh Khan leads India’s richest actors with Rs 10,000 crores net worth; despite Rs 2,490 crores drop in estimated wealth

Shah Rukh Khan has retained his position as the richest Indian actor in the Hurun India Rich List 2026. According to the latest ranking, the actor’s estimated net worth stands at Rs 10,000 crores. His wealth includes his business interests, including production company Red Chillies Entertainment and his involvement with Knight Riders Sports.

While Shah Rukh Khan continues to lead the list, his reported net worth has declined compared to the previous year. The Hurun India Rich List 2025 had estimated his net worth at Rs 12,490 crores. This marks a drop of Rs 2,490 crores, or around 20%, in the latest estimate. Earlier this year, the Hurun Global Rich List had placed his net worth at Rs 10,800 crores. A significant part of Shah Rukh Khan’s wealth is linked to his business ventures. Red Chillies Entertainment, which he runs with his wife Gauri Khan, is among his key business interests. The company has been involved in film production as well as visual effects through its associated ventures. The actor is also associated with Knight Riders Sports, the group behind cricket franchises including Kolkata Knight Riders. His involvement in the sports business forms another part of his overall financial portfolio. Shah Rukh Khan has been away from the big screen since 2023, when he starred in Pathaan, Jawan and Dunki. All three films were released in the same year and marked his return to leading roles following a period away from the big screen. The actor is now preparing for his next theatrical release, King. The film is directed by Siddharth Anand and stars Shah Rukh Khan alongside his daughter Suhana Khan. King is scheduled to release on December 24. With his latest reported net worth of Rs 10,000 crores, Shah Rukh Khan remains at the top among Indian actors featured in the Hurun India Rich List 2026. His reported wealth, however, is lower than the estimate recorded for him in the previous edition of the list.

The Paradise Mumbai press meet: Nani BREAKS silence on receiving ‘A’ rating: “Our film doesn’t have violence for the sake of violence…you can watch this film with your families, parents”

Nani, Sonali Kulkarni, Raghav Juyal and Kayadu Lohar attended the press meet of The Paradise in Mumbai. On September 21, it came to light that the action entertainer was passed by an ‘A’ certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC). Nani was asked about it and he explained the rationale behind the rating.

Nani said, “Of course, when your film has received an ‘A’ certificate, you’ll miss out on kids and a chunk of moviegoers. But I also understand where it's all coming from. There’s a lot of violence in The Paradise.”

He continued, “There are some films, which are fully focused on violence and have violence for the sake of violence. The Paradise is not like that. Our film is a solid drama. It’s an emotional, commercial film and everybody will relate to it very well, regardless of the age group. Even families can come and watch it. You can go with your parents and watch it. You’ll enjoy it completely. But children can’t view the film because there’s a lot of violence.”

Nani further stated, “Everything that happens in the film is what we see around and what we can relate to. There’s drama, emotions and a love story; that is, everything which films, in general, have. But the violence portions are a little higher than other films.”

Did the makers try to secure a U/A rating? Nani replied, “No. We were prepared while shooting itself that we would receive an adult rating.”

The Paradise releases in cinemas on September 24.

The censor cuts

The makers were asked to replace alternate visuals of crow on National Flag. The visuals of a pregnant woman in the beginning were asked to be modified. A foul word was allowed in one place and muted in the rest of the scenes. A scene of a character having a tattoo with a foul word was covered with CGI. The word 'denotified tribe' was asked to be deleted.

The duration of violent stabbing visuals was reduced. In fact, ten other violent scenes replete with torture and blood spills were removed. In three places, words on armed struggle against the country were modified or muted. A reference to a real-life assassination and historical event was muted. Similarly, a reference to a real-life cigarette brand was asked to be censored.
