Rajpal Yadav gets interim bail in cheque bounce case

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.

Nawazuddin Siddiqui Stands by Rajpal Yadav Amid Jail Case

Actor Rajpal Yadav surrendered at Tihar Jail on February 5 after the Delhi High Court rejected his final plea for more time in a cheque bounce and loan default case. Following this, many Bollywood celebrities including Sonu Sood came forward to support him. During this time, Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s name started trending online, with people wrongly accusing him of not helping his close friend.

However, recent reports have cleared the air. According to sources, Nawazuddin Siddiqui has always supported Rajpal Yadav, even providing financial help of around Rs 10 lakh earlier. Nawazuddin prefers to keep his help private and away from media attention, which is why his support was not publicly visible.

An old interview clip of Nawazuddin praising Rajpal’s generosity also resurfaced, reminding people of their strong bond. Meanwhile, the film industry continues to show solidarity with Rajpal during his tough time.

Sonu Sood Extends Support to Rajpal Yadav During Tough Time

Actor Rajpal Yadav was recently sent to Tihar Jail in connection with a ₹9 crore debt and cheque bounce case linked to a loan taken during a 2010 film. Before surrendering, Rajpal made an emotional statement, admitting he was under severe financial stress and had no one to seek help from, which moved many across the film industry.

Stepping forward in solidarity, actor Sonu Sood announced that Rajpal will be part of his upcoming film. Sonu also offered him a small signing amount to provide immediate financial relief, making it clear that the gesture was not charity but professional respect and dignity for a talented actor.

Sharing his thoughts on social media, Sonu praised Rajpal’s contribution to cinema and urged fellow filmmakers and colleagues to support him. He emphasized that difficult phases can affect anyone and the industry must stand united to ensure no one feels alone during such times.
