From Humble Beginnings to a Real Estate Empire: The Inspiring Journey of Sanjay and Usha Kakade
Real estate developer-turned-politician Sanjay Kakade and his philanthropist wife Usha Kakade are shining examples of staying grounded despite success. In a heartwarming conversation, the couple reflect on their journey from modest beginnings - narrating how they overcame challenges, built their empire brick by brick and continue to stay connected to their roots even today. The son of a school teacher in Pune, Sanjay talks about his early days and reminisces the time when he took on various odd jobs including selling vegetables and waiting tables at a food stall. Driven by ambition and perseverance, he ventured into real estate and launched the Sanjay Kakade Group with his first project in 1988. Over time, he steadily expanded his footprint in the sector, becoming a prominent name in Pune's real estate landscape. In 2014, motivated by a desire to contribute to the nation's progress, Sanjay entered the political arena, marking the beginning of his public life. From homemaker to changemaker Usha Kakade's journey is a testament to quiet determination and purpose. Starting out as a housewife, she stepped into the male-dominated world of real estate after her marriage, spending five years learning the ropes with dedication and patience. At a time when very few women were seen in the industry, she carved out a space for herself and now actively encourages more women to explore opportunities in real estate. After two decades of success in the business, her focus shifted toward giving back. She founded an NGO with the aim of uplifting underprivileged women and children. Through her foundation, she has provided medical assistance to children and spearheaded a campaign on "Good Touch, Bad Touch" to educate kids on personal safety—continuing her mission to empower and protect the vulnerable. Changing face of real estate With 38 years in the real estate industry, Sanjay Kakade has witnessed the sector evolve dramatically. Reflecting on shifting consumer preferences, he notes that today's homebuyers increasingly seek flats packed with amenities and lifestyle features. Looking back at his very first project, one key lesson he holds on to is the importance of affordability - he firmly believes that quality housing should remain within reach of the common man. Usha fondly reflects on the projects she independently led, sharing that the flats were thoughtfully designed from a woman's perspective. They prioritized comfort, functionality and the everyday needs and desires of women at the heart of the home.

Thalapathy Vijay starrer Jana Nayagan is slated to hit the big screens on January 9, 2026. As the H Vinoth directorial is months away from release, it seems the makers might be going the GOAT way for its first-ever glimpse. As per a report by Let's Cinema, the Vijay starrer is likely to drop its glimpse on June 22, 2025, coinciding with the superstar's 51st birthday. While first looks are the norm for the actor's birthdays, Jana Nayagan's posters were dropped earlier this year. In 2024, the makers of The Greatest Of All Time released a glimpse for the actor's birthday, and now it seems the upcoming venture would do the same. However, an official confirmation is yet to come from the makers of Jana Nayagan. Talking about the film, the much-awaited venture is touted to be a political action drama and is considered the actor's alleged final movie. Even though the details about the same are yet to be made, the filming took place with an army backdrop. With Pooja Hegde and Bobby Deol playing the co-leads, it also has an ensemble cast of actors like Gautham Vasudev Menon, Prakash Raj, Narain, Priyamani, Mamitha Baiju, Monisha Blessy, and more in key roles. Additionally, rumors speculate that Shruti Haasan might play a cameo appearance. Interestingly, the film made the headlines earlier after it was speculated that it would be the remake of Nandamuri Balakrishna starrer Bhagavanth Kesari. The reports of the same were peddled across the internet after the makers bought the remake rights. However, it was later noted that the Jana Nayagan helmers bought the rights to use a 'Good Touch, Bad Touch' scene from the NBK starrer. While more details about the Thalapathy starrer are yet to come in, the movie is musically crafted by Anirudh Ravichander. Interestingly, the 5th collaboration of the musician in the superstar's film is confirmed to have the sensational Hanumankind sing a rap song. Coming to Vijay's work front, the Master actor was last seen in The Greatest Of All Time, directed by Venkat Prabhu. The spy action drama featured the story of a former anti-terrorist squad leader reuniting with his son, who was presumed dead. However, things take a turn when the man realizes that his supposed 'son' is not who he thinks he is.
