Vendor Reports Spotlight Costly Bollywood Vanity Vans as Status Symbols

Builder accounts describe bespoke features with price brackets that sharpen the industry debate over entourage expenses.

Overview

  • Ranveer Singh uses three vans during shoots — one personal, one gym unit, and one for a private chef — according to a report citing a source close to the actor.
  • The report pegs average maintenance at roughly ₹10–15 lakh, with van prices ranging from ₹15–20 lakh for basic models to ₹2–3 crore for top-tier “super vans.”
  • A vendor says Shah Rukh Khan’s van is so large it sometimes cannot access cramped or remote locations, prompting the use of a smaller substitute vehicle.
  • Designer accounts describe John Abraham’s van as entirely black inside — including the sink and toilet — with a floor-to-ceiling window to bring in natural light.
  • Another builder says Kangana Ranaut’s van features solid sheesham wood interiors that are difficult to source and maintain, reflecting rising customization demands.
