Actor Sonu Sood has come forward to support Rajpal Yadav who is now going through a very hard time. Rajpal has surrendered in a cheque-bounce case and is lodged in Tihar Jail. When Sonu heard this news he shared a long message asking the whole film industry to stand with Rajpal. He also said he will cast Rajpal in his next movie. Sonu said this in a very warm way.

Sonu Sood wrote on Instagram, “Rajpal Yadav is a gifted actor who has given years of unforgettable work to our industry.” He said that life becomes unfair sometimes. He said this is because timing can be brutal, not because the person lacks talent.

Sonu’s message talks about unity and dignity

Sonu’s message explained why the film industry should not leave Rajpal alone. The actor wrote, “He will be part of my film, and I believe this is the moment for all of us… producers, directors, colleagues to stand together.” He said giving him a small signing amount is not charity. He said it is dignity. He wrote, “A small signing amount, adjustable against future work, is not charity, it’s dignity.”




Sonu added that when someone from the industry is struggling, they should be reminded that he is not alone. He wrote, “This is how we show we are more than just an industry.” Sonu’s message touched many people because it felt honest and simple.

How the loan case brought Rajpal into trouble

Rajpal Yadav’s case started many years ago. In 2010, he took a loan of Rs 5 crore from a company in Delhi. He took the money to make his directorial film 'Ata Pata Laapata'. The movie did not do well. Because of this, Rajpal could not repay the loan fully. He and his wife gave cheques. These cheques bounced. After this, the lender went to court. Over the years, the amount kept increasing. Reports say that the loan now stands near Rs 9 crore. Rajpal made some payments but could not clear the full amount. The court finally ordered him to surrender and he obeyed the order and went to Tihar Jail.

Before he surrendered, Rajpal made a very emotional statement in court. He said, “Sir, what should I do? I don’t have any money. I don’t see any other solution.” The court then asked him if he had asked friends in the industry for help. Rajpal replied, “Sir, yahan hum sab akele hain. There are no friends. I have to deal with this crisis on my own.”
