Amitabh Bachchan's Real Estate Success: A 168% Profit on Mumbai Duplex

Amitabh Bachchan's Property Deal: A 168% Return

In a remarkable turn of events, Bollywood icon Amitabh Bachchan has sold his luxurious duplex apartment in Oshiwara, Mumbai, for an astonishing ₹83 crore. This sale represents a staggering 168% increase over the original purchase price of ₹31 crore, making it one of the most lucrative real estate transactions in the city.

According to property registration documents analyzed by Square Yards, a proptech platform, Bachchan had initially acquired the duplex in April 2021 for ₹31 crore. Less than three years later, the property's value has skyrocketed, reflecting the prime real estate market in Mumbai.

High-Profile Rental: Kriti Sanon Occupies the Duplex

The property, located in The Atlantis, a premium residential project by Crystal Group, was also rented out in November 2021 to actress Kriti Sanon for a monthly rent of ₹10 lakh, with a security deposit of ₹60 lakh. The lease documents, reviewed by Square Yards, underline the high demand for such upscale properties in Mumbai’s luxury real estate market.

Spanning across 5,704 square feet, with a carpet area of 5,185.62 square feet, the duplex features six mechanized parking spaces and a vast 4,800-square-foot terrace. Located in one of Mumbai's most sought-after residential areas, The Atlantis offers luxurious 4, 5, and 6 BHK apartments, making it a prime investment location for celebrities and investors alike.

The family has made significant investments in the Mumbai metropolitan region (MMR), contributing to over a quarter of celebrity property transactions.
