Ayodhya has chosen me: Ramayana star Ranbir Kapoor buys land in city
Ranbir Kapoor has purchased a piece of land in Ayodhya's The Sarayu project, adding to the growing celebrity interest in the temple town as he gears up for his next film, Ramayana.
Ranbir Kapoor has purchased a land parcel in Ayodhya at a premium plotted development by The House of Abhinandan Lodha (HoABL), the real estate company announced on Thursday.
According to an official statement, the transaction is valued at around Rs 3.31 crore for a 2,134 sq ft land parcel. The plot is part of The Sarayu, a 75-acre plotted project located along the banks of the Sarayu river.
Speaking about the investment, Kapoor said, “I believe Ayodhya has chosen me, and I have just answered this calling.
