In a chat with the YouTube channel Visionary Studioz, Jeetendra said, “I am not like a typical builder.” He explained, “Typical builders sell the property before it is made, but I don’t like that. So I decided that I will construct the building first, and then I will sell it. I might appear foolish as a normal businessman.” This approach reflects his commitment to quality and integrity, which are values he has carried over from his long career in the film industry.
Jeetendra has spent 50 years in the film business, and he noted, “In my time, I don’t think I have seen people as nice as them… such nice, kind-hearted people. People in the film business are very emotional, but when I started this business, I realised that they have a different system.” He added, “Log chalak hain, sayane hain (People are clever, cunning here),” and admitted that perhaps he wasn’t as clever in this department.
In the movies, people work with emotions, but that doesn’t work in real estate. All the successful builders who exist today have done good work and people have appreciated them. And those who are riffraff, those who just run away after completing the construction, make false promises, most of them are behind bars. You are only appreciated for your good work.
In June, Jeetendra sold a land parcel in Mumbai’s Andheri area for a grand sum of Rs 855 crore. The property was sold through their family-owned firms Pantheon Buildcon Private Limited and Tusshar Infra Developers Private Limited. According to Square Yards, the deal involved the sale of two adjoining plots of about 2.39 acres. The site currently has three buildings with a built-up area of around 4.9 lakh sq ft.
Jeetendra’s journey in real estate is a testament to his adaptability and his ability to apply the values of honesty and hard work from one industry to another. His approach to construction and real estate is a refreshing change in a business often perceived as cutthroat and opportunistic.
