Rajpal Yadav cheque-bounce case took a serious turn as the actor is currently serving a jail term, with his bail hearing scheduled for February 12. Confirming the development, Rajpal Yadav’s manager Goldie said the actor’s family remains hopeful about his release.

All About Rajpal Yadav Cheque-Bounce Case
The Delhi High Court ordered Rajpal Yadav to serve a six-month jail term in a cheque-bounce case that dates back over a decade. The 54-year-old actor had reportedly borrowed ₹5 crore from a Delhi-based businessman in 2010.
The amount was meant for his directorial debut film Ata Pata Laapata. However, the repayment issue led to prolonged legal proceedings.
According to his lawyer, Rajpal Yadav surrendered before Tihar Jail authorities last week. He took the step after several attempts to settle the payment failed over the years.
Film Industry Comes Forward to Support Rajpal Yadav
Goldie revealed that many members of the film industry have come forward to help the actor financially. He said several well-known names have offered support during this difficult phase.
Actors Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn have taken the initiative to help. Filmmaker David Dhawan also informed Goldie that his son, actor Varun Dhawan, would extend support.
“The entire industry is standing with him,” Goldie said. He urged people not to question or malign the film fraternity’s image based on selective names.
FWICE Issues Letter Seeking Support
Goldie also shared that the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE) issued a letter urging its members to support Rajpal Yadav.
“Many people have come forward quietly. We are hopeful that we will overcome this situation,” he said. He added that the actor has shown immense mental strength during this phase.
Everyone involved expects a positive outcome from the bail hearing scheduled for Thursday.
