Mohali, October 25, 2026: The launch of the luxury residential project being promoted as SK Towers was not simply a video advertisement featuring Salman Khan. According to an account shared with Speedy Clicks News Room, the announcement was marked by a grand launch event featuring international luxury entrepreneur Jacob Arabo, with television personality Maniesh Paul hosting and actor Bobby Deol appearing on stage. The event brought the spotlight to developer GB Realty and its collaboration with watch and jewellery house Jacob & Co.
Reporting note: The details of Jacob Arabo’s personal attendance, Maniesh Paul’s hosting and Bobby Deol’s stage appearance were supplied directly to this publication by an event-informed source. Independent press reports reviewed by Speedy Clicks corroborate the project announcement and Salman Khan’s remote participation, but do not separately document all three stage appearances. A reported figure of 15 Bollywood attendees has not been independently verified, so this report does not present that number as established fact.
Grand launch brings entertainment and international luxury branding together
The Mohali-region launch was conceived as a high-profile unveiling rather than a conventional property announcement. According to the event account, Jacob Arabo visited personally, Maniesh Paul anchored the proceedings and Bobby Deol shared the stage. Their presence put the emphasis on the launch’s celebrity and international-brand dimension, alongside the underlying real estate proposition.
Arabo is the founder of Jacob & Co., known globally for luxury watches and jewellery. His association with the development reflects GB Realty’s ambition to bring the branded-residences concept to the Chandigarh Tricity market. GB Realty founder and managing director Gurinder Bhatti has publicly described the partnership as a way to combine international design sensibilities with the company’s development vision.
Salman Khan joins through video message, not in person
Bollywood actor Salman Khan was a prominent part of the launch campaign, but he did not attend the event physically. According to reporting by The Times of India and Moneycontrol on October 25, Khan appeared in promotional material for the project and sent a video message offering his best wishes, citing unavoidable circumstances for his absence.
His absence should not be confused with the attendance of other personalities. The event account provided to Speedy Clicks specifically places Bobby Deol on stage and Maniesh Paul in the host’s role. Salman Khan’s involvement, by contrast, was through the promotional campaign and video greeting.
What is SK Towers, and how does it relate to GB Realty’s Mohali development?
Entertainment reporting describes a proposed project associated with the SK Towers name, potentially comprising six high-rise towers and three- and four-bedroom luxury residences. These design and configuration details remain media-reported proposals rather than confirmed specifications from a final sanctioned project plan.
Separately, GB Realty has publicly announced a ₹2,400–₹2,500 crore Jacob & Co.-branded residential development along Airport Road, Mohali. Hindustan Times and ETRealty report that more than ₹1,000 crore of the estimated investment is associated with land, with the remainder planned for construction and development.
The same parties and broadly similar investment figures appear in both sets of coverage. However, the public reports reviewed do not conclusively establish whether the SK Towers name and the announced Jacob & Co.-branded residences are the identical legally registered development. Buyers should verify the precise project identity in official documentation.
Why Jacob Arabo’s visit is significant
A personal appearance by the founder of an international luxury house would be a notable moment for a Mohali property launch. Beyond celebrity visibility, the commercial proposition is the potential introduction of branded residential design and services to a market more commonly associated with conventional premium apartment projects.
GB Realty says its luxury housing strategy will emphasise architecture, sustainability, wellness, amenities and service standards. The practical scope of Jacob & Co.’s role in design, specifications or ongoing resident services has not yet been fully detailed in the independent reports reviewed.
GB Realty’s wider investment ambitions
The developer has outlined plans to invest more than ₹5,000 crore over three years and approximately ₹10,000 crore over five years across its expansion pipeline. It has indicated that about ₹3,500 crore of planned spending is intended for luxury and ultra-luxury residences. These figures are forward-looking corporate investment plans, not evidence that all of the capital has already been deployed.
What homebuyers should check after the launch
The grand launch and its high-profile participants may raise awareness, but purchasers should still confirm the Punjab RERA registration number, legal promoter, sanctioned plans, exact project location, approved apartment mix, possession schedule and contractual scope of the luxury brand association. The launch’s promotional impact and the project’s regulatory status are separate questions.
