US EditionBoney Kapoor Moves Madras HC, Claims 3 People 'Unlawfully' Claiming Sridevi's Property
Boney Kapoor challenges inheritance claims by three individuals citing a fraudulent legal heirship certificate and questions the legality of a second marriage tied to the property.
- On August 26, 2025, film producer Boney Kapoor moved the Madras High Court alleging three individuals unlawfully claim his late wife Sridevi's farmhouse on East Coast Road, Chennai.
- Kapoor says the 2005 legal heirship certificate underpins claims by three individuals, but he contests the Tambaram Taluk Tahsildar's jurisdiction since the family lived in Mylapore, not Tambaram.
- Court filings show the family maintained possession of the ECR farmhouse since Sridevi purchased it years ago based on a 1960 family partition agreement, while Kapoor disputes the claimants' marriage validity.
- On Monday, Justice N. Anand Venkatesh directed the Tambaram Taluk Tahsildar to decide within four weeks, and Kapoor seeks to annul the 2005 legal heirship certificate and prevent ownership transfers.
- Beyond legal stakes, the family farmhouse retreat on ECR used by Boney Kapoor and daughters Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor has public visibility via an Airbnb Icons listing and a 2024 visitor opening.
