Vendors Detail Pricey, Customized Vanity Vans for Bollywood Stars

Fresh accounts republished by Indian outlets highlight a growing fight over who covers entourage costs.

Overview

  • Indian outlets are amplifying a Hollywood Reporter India piece that cites vendors and designers describing star-specific vanity van features, with most details not directly confirmed by the celebrities.
  • Ranveer Singh is reported to use three vans on shoot days—one for personal use, one as a gym, and one for his private chef—according to a source quoted by the report.
  • Vendor Ketan Raval says Shah Rukh Khan’s van is so large it often cannot access tight or remote locations, prompting him to send a smaller van when needed.
  • Raval describes John Abraham’s van as entirely black inside, including the toilet, with a floor‑to‑ceiling window, while designer Prateek Malewar says Kangana Ranaut’s van uses solid sheesham wood interiors that are hard to source and maintain.
  • Vendors estimate annual upkeep at ₹10–15 lakh and price top‑tier vans at ₹2–3 crore, figures that are being linked in coverage to producer complaints about rising entourage‑related costs.
