Dilip Kumar’s Pali Hill Bungalow goes for transformation into Luxurious Residency & Museum
‘The Legend’

Hindi Cinema’s thespian late Dilip Kumar’s Bandra Pali Hill bungalow is to be transformed into a luxurious Residency and Museum with the name as
“The Legend” spread over 1,600 sqmt of the plot area.

As per communication from the builder, this redevelopment transformation will witness a conversion of the property site into an ultra-luxurious residential space along with a momentous tribute to the thespian in the form of a dedicated museum capturing and celebrating his life journey and milestones.

The unveiling ceremony was organised by Thane based Ashar Group.

This will reportedly be the developer’s second such project in Bandra’s Pali Hill. Both are placed in the ultra-luxury segment.

At the ongoing project, one of the deals was for as high as ₹1.35 lakh per square foot.

The superstar lived in this bungalow between 1953 and 2003 until it was in a dilapidated state. Thereafter the actor and his wife Saira Banu moved to another property in Pali Hill.

The plot had been in dispute for years

For years now, this plot has been in the news for certain developments, right from Saira Banu issuing a defamation notice for ₹250 crore to builder Samir N Bhojwani to unsuccessfully appealing to Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the then Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

In 2018, she had approached Mumbai police and lodged a complaint with the Economic Offences Wing for cheating and trying to grab the bungalow. It was alleged that Bhojwani forged certain documents to transfer the property’s ownership. The matter was held up in the courts for years.
