Zapkey has seen the papers, which were put in order on May 19, 2026, and they show the actor has let go of this Mumbai address to someone else. It’s a sign that there’s still a strong demand for the good stuff in Bandra West.
What the lease signals for luxury rentals
If you’re a landlord or an investor, you can learn from this. The 5% clause in the contract means you have some cover against inflation and a steady yield to count on over time.
The tenant is listed as Aditya Shukla, with the aforementioned 45-lakh security. We tried to get a word with the star but couldn’t. But the lease tells its own story: if a home is in the right spot and well-designed, you don’t have to budge on the asking price to get a long-term commitment.
Key terms confirmed in the filing include:
– Monthly rent of Rs 11 lakh
– Tenure of five years
– Registration on May 19, 2026
– Security deposit of Rs 45 lakh
– 5% escalation clause
– Seventh-floor apartment in the Vaastu Building
– Leased to Aditya Shukla
Inside the Vaastu deal
This one is on the top floor of the Vaastu Building, 2,460 sq ft of it. Kapoor made it his own back in 2016 for Rs 35 crore, and with Gauri Khan on the interiors, it has been something of a talking point in the luxury circuit.
Design pedigree and ownership history
It’s a model for how to do a premium agreement: you set the terms, you get the deposit, and you have your answer. And with the Gauri Khan touch, the Vaastu place has always had a bit of the actor’s persona attached to it.
Shift to Krishna Raj bungalow
Then there’s the matter of where he is now. He and Alia Bhatt have made the move to the Krishna Raj bungalow, the old family homestead. It’s named after Krishna Raj Kapoor and is in the same league as Mannat and Jalsa; we are told it is worth in the region of Rs 250 crore.
The house has been in the family since Rishi and Neetu took it over in 1980. They put in some work on it until 2025, and there is even a room in there to Rishi’s memory, who we lost to leukaemia in 2020.
Expanding footprint in Ayodhya
His portfolio doesn’t stop in Mumbai, either. There’s a piece of land in Ayodhya he has put his name to. The documents say he paid about Rs 3.31 crore for 2,134 sq ft at The Sarayu, a 75-acre project by The House of Abhinandan Lodha. It’s all along the river and will have a Leela hotel and 35-odd amenities when it’s done. For those who like their investments to be part of a lifestyle, it makes sense.
On-screen momentum and outlook
On the job front, he is in the middle of prepping for Ramayana, where he will be playing Lord Rama. It’s a two-parter with a Rs 4,000 crore price tag, and you have Yash as Ravana, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Sunny Deol as Hanuman and Ravie Dubey as Lakshman.
Put it all together and you see a plan. You have the income from the Vaastu, the 250-crore home base, and a new venture in Ayodhya. It’s a way of having your brand out there while your most ambitious film is in the works.
