Rajpal Yadav cheque bounce case Bail hearing Highlights: Actor Rajpal Yadav has been having serious legal problems in recent times. He recently surrendered to the authorities because he wasn’t able to pay back a loan of Rs 5 crore, which later compounded to an amount of nearly Rs 9 crore. The actor revealed he didn’t have any money and decided to accept his punishment by law. Many from the industry have since then rallied behind the actor in order to help him pay his dues.
According to Rajpal’s manager, Goldie, the bail hearing will be held today in the Delhi High Court. He told SCREEN on February 11 that, “We have his bail hearing scheduled for tomorrow, and we are hopeful that he will be granted bail and released. The bail application has already been filed. We will be able to share more details after the hearing tomorrow.”

Goldie talked about the kind of support that Rajpal has received from fellow industry members like Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, and more. He didn’t want to comment on whether the actor asked for help before his surrender and said, “The good thing is that after his situation worsened, the industry has stood behind him like a rock—and that should be appreciated. Everyone has made commitments, but such transactions don’t happen overnight.”
Many also wondered why Rajpal, an actor with 30 years of work under his belt, was not able to repay this loan. The actor borrowed the initial amount for his directorial debut, Ata Pata Lapata, and was not able to repay it after the movie’s disappointing performance at the box office. According to India.com, Rajpal earned around Rs 7-8 crore for his last five projects.
Apart from the aforementioned actors, director David Dhawan and actors Sonu Sood and Varun Dhawan have also extended their support to the actor.
