A dream of a luxury home sparked during a shoot
The story starts in 1997. Shah Rukh Khan was shooting the famous song 'Chaand Taare' for his film 'Yes Boss' in Mumbai's Bandra area. During the shoot, his eyes fell on a magnificent bungalow. At that time, the house was called 'Villa Vienna'.
Security guard didn't let Shah Rukh inside the house
During a shoot break, SRK and his team tried to get a closer look at the bungalow. But the security guard there shooed them away. Right then, Shah Rukh jokingly told his colleagues, 'Just watch, one day this bungalow will be mine!' Many who heard him thought it was just a daydream.

The lyrics of 'Chaand Taare', written by Javed Akhtar with music by Jatin-Lalit and sung by Abhijeet, perfectly matched Shah Rukh Khan's own dreams. Just like the song's lines, SRK used his hard work to turn that big dream into a reality.
The challenge fulfilled in just four years; 'Villa Vienna' becomes 'Mannat'
The dream he saw during the shoot came true in just four years. In 2001, Shah Rukh Khan finally bought the grand bungalow. He then renamed it 'Mannat'. The house is not just his home, but a massive symbol of his incredible success.
