Why It Matters
-
Investment Savvy: Consistent high RoI across residential and commercial assets highlights Kumar’s sharp investment insight.
-
Market Timing: Exits coincide with strong resale movement in Oberoi Sky City—₹428 crore in total sales (Aug 2024–July 2025) and ~₹47,800/sq ft average resale price .
-
Celebrity Real Estate Trend: Followed the move made by Amitabh and Abhishek Bachchan, who also invested in Sky City in May 2024—underlining the project's appeal among high-net individuals.
Between Real Estate & Reel Life
Not just a property whiz—Akshay remains a force in entertainment. His post-“Kesari Chapter 2” slate includes Jolly LLB 3 (set for September 2025 release) and Bhooth Bangla, a Priyadarshan-directed horror-comedy aiming for April 2026 launch. Clearly, Kumar is diversifying his portfolio—on screen and off.
Final Word
Akshay Kumar’s recent real estate streak is more than a property sell-off—it’s a strategic monetization of assets that intersects with market opportunity, urban growth corridors, and investment foresight. With returns averaging almost double in many transactions, he's shown that real estate can be as dynamic an arena as Bollywood itself.
