Shah Rukh Khan's residence, Mannat, has received legal approval to continue its renovation after the National Green Tribunal dismissed an appeal challenging the project. The renovation includes adding two upper floors and complies with Coastal Regulation Zone norms. The property, a Grade III heritage site in Bandra, Mumbai, was originally built in 1914 and purchased by Khan in 2001. The family has temporarily relocated to a rented duplex during the renovation, which is expected to be completed within the next year.
Shah Rukh Khan's iconic residence, Mannat, located in Bandra, Mumbai, has resumed its renovation work following a favorable legal ruling. The National Green Tribunal (NGT) dismissed an appeal that challenged the renovation project, effectively granting Khan the legal clearance to proceed. Known as a major tourist attraction, Mannat regularly draws fans who gather outside in hopes of catching a glimpse of the Bollywood superstar. During the renovation period, Shah Rukh Khan has temporarily shifted residence to the Pooja Casa building, which is owned by film producer Vashu Bhagnani. Advertisement
The renovation of Mannat had faced legal hurdles when activist Santosh Daundkar filed an appeal against the Maharashtra Coastal Zone Management Authority's (MCZMA) clearance granted on January 3. Daundkar argued that the clearance was erroneous. However, the NGT rejected the appeal, stating it was "without force" and upheld the clearance. The tribunal clarified that the renovation work is permitted since the property falls under a CRZ-II zone on the landward side of existing structures, making it compliant with the Coastal Regulation Zone Notification, 2019.
As per the approved plan, the renovation includes adding two new upper floors the 7th and 8th with a duplex flat and internal staircase. Once complete, the building will comprise two basements, a ground floor, and eight upper floors, rising to 37.54 meters in height. Mannat sits on CTS 859-862 in Bandra H-West and is marked as a residential zone under DP 2034. The project had already received Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation?s approval on November 7, 2024.
The tribunal also pointed out that the petitioner's counsel could not show procedural lapses or produce the 2008 CRZ No Objection Certificate, raising questions over why the clearance wasn't challenged earlier.
With the legal green light, work on Mannat continues. Gauri Khan had shared an update in a conversation with News18 Showsha, saying, "Work in my home is currently under progress, and my renovated house should come around in the next one year." Until the project is finished, Shah Rukh, Gauri, and their children Aryan, Suhana, and AbRam are staying in a plush duplex in Pali Hill. The family is said to have leased two high-end apartments at a monthly rent of nearly INR 24 lakh.
The renovation is expected to further enhance Mannat's grandeur. Already a Bandra landmark, the sea-facing residence is a Grade III heritage property originally built in 1914 as "Villa Vienna." SRK purchased it in 2001, renaming it Mannat a word that reflects a heartfelt wish or prayer, and mirrors his own rise in Bollywood. Spread across 27,000 sq. ft., the property combines a stately neo-classical façade with a modern six-storey annexe, and is estimated to be worth about INR 200 crore, making it one of the most celebrated celebrity homes in India.
