Sonu Sood And Rao Inderjeet Singh Yadav Extend Helping Hand to Rajpal Yadav Amid Rs 9-Crore Cheque-Bounce Case

On February 5, 2026, Actor-comedian Rajpal Yadav surrendered himself to Tihar jail authorities in connection with multiple cheque-bounce cases linked to his 2010 directorial Ata Pata Laapata. The Delhi High Court rejected his last-minute plea asking for time in a decade-old cheque bounce and loan default case. The case revolves around unpaid dues that reportedly escalated to nearly Rs 9 crore due to the failure of his production venture. The film failed at the box office, leading to major financial losses. 

Lately, Sonu Sood and music producer Rao Inderjeet Singh Yadav, owner of GemTunes Music, announced that he would provide Rs 1.11 crore to the actor. Following them, Jan Shakti Janata Dal president Tej Pratap Yadav too extended a helping hand by announcing financial assistance of Rs. 11 lakh.

Actor Sonu Sood took to X  and announced lending a hand of support to Rajpal Yadav, who is currently in Tihar Jail. Sood also offered a role and a signing amount. His X post read, “Rajpal Yadav is a gifted actor who has given years of unforgettable work to our industry. Sometimes life turns unfair, not because of talent, but because timing can be brutal. He will be part of my film, and I believe this is the moment for all of us… Producers, directors, and colleagues to stand together.” Moreover, he added that a small signing amount, adjustable against future work, is dignity and not charity.

Jan Shakti Janata Dal president Tej Pratap Yadav too stepped ahead. He stated that on behalf of the JJD family, he is providing financial assistance. In addition, Gurmeet Choudhary too posted on X saying, “Our industry is a family. And family does not abandon its own.” The court had directed Rajpal to pay Rs.1.35 crore in each case, amounting to nearly Rs.9 crore in total.
