Mumbai, India – In the midst of an ongoing legal battle surrounding the release of her upcoming film ‘Emergency’, acclaimed actress and budding politician Kangana Ranaut has achieved a new milestone. Recently, Ranaut made headlines with the purchase of a luxurious Range Rover worth Rs 3 crore. This high-end acquisition comes merely days after reports surfaced that she sold her Mumbai bungalow for a staggering Rs 32 crore due to financial constraints.
The financial crunch apparently stemmed from delays in the film ‘Emergency’, a project close to Ranaut’s heart. Speaking to News 18, the actress explained the reason behind her significant real estate decision. “Naturally, my film was supposed to release. I put all my personal property on it. Now that it’s not released, so anyway, that’s what properties are for – for times of crisis,” she disclosed.
The bungalow in question has a rather controversial history. Located in the upscale Pali Hill area, it became a subject of public and legal scrutiny when the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) demolished parts of it. This controversial demolition was linked to alleged irregularities in construction and came amid Ranaut’s outspoken criticism of then Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray and her disputes with Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut. The BMC termed the alterations as illegal, leading to a partial dismantling of the property. Despite being offered Rs 2 crore as compensation for the demolition, Ranaut reportedly refused to accept it.
The sale of such a valuable asset underscores the severity of the financial woes that the film’s delay has wrought on the actress. Originally scheduled to hit theaters on September 6, ‘Emergency’ was stalled due to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) not issuing a certificate in time. The producers, including Ranaut and Zee Entertainment, have since taken the matter to court. In recent developments, the CBFC informed the Bombay High Court that it would allow the film’s release provided the suggested cuts by the revising committee are implemented.

While these legal mechanisms are in motion, Ranaut’s recent purchase offers a silver lining amid the ongoing tumult. Over the weekend, Land Rover Modi Motors’ official Instagram page shared a slew of images showcasing the actress with her brand-new homage to luxury – a Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography Long Wheelbase (LWB). Priced at Rs 3.81 crore in Mumbai, the vehicle offers 5-seater comfort and epitomizes opulence.
In a series of posts, Ranaut, dressed in a pristine white salwar-kameez, was seen posing with her new car. One of the pictures highlighted a heartwarming moment where she was holding her nephew, Ashwatthama, alongside an arti ki thali, signifying the traditional car puja ceremony. The Instagram post accompanying the photos lauded, “Congratulations to the Queen of Bollywood, Ms. Kangana Ranaut, on her stunning new ride – Range Rover!! From ruling the silver screen to conquering the roads in style, you always know how to make a statement. This powerhouse deserves nothing less than the best! Here’s to cruising in luxury and making every journey as bold and fearless as you are.”
As Ranaut basks in the joy of her new acquisition, it’s clear that her path forward remains fraught with challenges. The delay of ‘Emergency’ – a film anticipated to make a significant impact – has thrown a spanner in her plans. Nevertheless, her decision to press forward with both legal action and her personal life highlights her determination and resilience.
In leveraging her personal assets to tide over this financial crunch, Ranaut has shown an unflinching commitment to her craft and projects. Her actions underscore a sentiment shared by many in the film industry: during times of crisis, the drive to sustain one’s creative vision often necessitates difficult decisions and bold steps.
As fans eagerly await the resolution of the legal stalemate and the eventual release of ‘Emergency’, Ranaut’s latest redevelopment in personal luxury adds yet another layer to her multifaceted persona. Balancing the relentless pressure of legal proceedings with personal milestones like acquiring a high-end luxury vehicle, Kangana Ranaut continues to demonstrate that she is nothing short of a powerhouse, both on and off the screen.
