Rajpal Yadav was granted bail by the Delhi High Court on Monday in connection with a ₹9-crore cheque bounce case. The actor had been lodged in Tihar Jail after failing to honour financial commitments related to his 2012 directorial debut Ata Pata Laapata. The film’s failure led to mounting losses and legal action under the Negotiable Instruments Act.

The court noted that Yadav deposited ₹1.5 crore in the complainant’s account, following which Justice Swarana Kanta Sharma granted an interim suspension of sentence till the next hearing. The actor has been directed to surrender his passport and remain present during proceedings scheduled for March 18. Earlier pleas seeking more time were rejected due to inconsistent payment assurances.

Amid the crisis, several film industry colleagues extended support. Rajpal Yadav was last seen in Baby John and will next appear in Akshay Kumar’s horror-comedy Bhoot Bangla, slated for release on April 10.

Tu Yaa Main had a slow start at the Indian box office on its opening day. The survival thriller starring Shanaya Kapoor and Adarsh Gourav, and directed by Bejoy Nambiar, earned around ₹55–57 lakh nett on Friday, according to early estimates by Sacnilk.com.
