\"Rajpal Rajpal Yadav, who is currently enjoying the box office run of his latest release \u2018Bhooth Bangla,\u2019 recently addressed the long-standing public assumptions around his cheque bounce case that had led to his imprisonment. The controversy dates back to 2010, when Rajpal reportedly borrowed Rs 5 crore to finance \u2018Ata Pata Laapata.\u2019 Released in 2012, the movie tanked at the box office, and the loan remained unsettled, leading to a legal case. Reflecting on the same in a recent interview, Rajpal Yadav claimed that he didn\u2019t go to jail because he was unable to pay Rs 5 crore; the issue was bigger than just money. Thus, he is determined to fight the case his entire life and not settle ever. He added that the entire case incurred him a loss of Rs 22 crore.<\/p>\n

Rajpal Yadav addresses the cheque bounce case<\/p>\n

During his conversation with Shubhankar Mishra, Rajpal was questioned why he didn\u2019t repay Rs 5 crore, despite having the money and work at that point in time. The \u2018Bhool Bhulaiyaan\u2019 actor explained, \u201cThis is exactly the point of my case, it\u2019s not about not being able to pay Rs 5 crores. It\u2019s too early to speak on why I went to jail or if I have the money or not.\u201dThe actor further elaborated how it wasn\u2019t about just money; the matter would have been over long ago. \u201cHad it just been a matter of Rs 5 crores, it would have been resolved in 2012 itself, but because of this Rs 5 crores, I have incurred losses of Rs 17 crores. That time, the matter was not in court, when the person jeopardised my film\u2019s worth of Rs 17 crores. After this person saw 70 per cent of the film, he invested another Rs 5 crores.\u201d<\/p>\n

Rajpal Yadav\u2019s claim of incurring Rs 22 crore loss, and his determination to never settle<\/p>\n

As he further detailed the issue, the actor mentioned how the whole scenario had led to his loss of Rs 22 crore. He quoted, \u201cRs 5-7 crores were to be spent on the film\u2019s release, and the total production budget of the film was Rs 22 crores. Even if you are an enemy, you would not stop the project from releasing, especially when 10 others have also invested money in this. We have been talking about the intention behind giving these Rs 5 crores. My intention was good. What was my fault?\u201dThe movie had a short box office run, didn\u2019t reach the 200-screen mark, all leading to a big loss. On top of that, a press conference conducted by the reported lender added to the troubles.\u201cA film that was supposed to release on over 1000 screens, Amitabh Bachchan inaugurated its music album, but it was not even allowed to sustain for three days. He sank Rs 22 crores by just doing a press conference; his intention was bad, which cost me Rs 22 crores,\u201d Rajpal Yadav said before adding, \u201cSince the last 10 years, I have been saying the same thing. The film had 200 artists, including Dara Singhji, but he made it an issue as if I owed him Rs 50 crores and absconded with it. When he had post-dated cheques already, then why did he bring a stay order on the film\u2019s release? Soon after the High Court rejected their stay order, this party went and did an accusatory press conference. Because of this, the film could not be released in 200 screens either.\u201dThe actor added that with the right intention in heart, he will never back down, never settle. \u201cI will keep fighting with him all my life over this intention; I won\u2019t go in for a settlement,\u201d Rajpal said<\/p>\n

Rajpal Yadav expressed gratitude towards the industry<\/p>\n

In these difficult times, the one thing that melted Rajpal Yadav\u2019s heart was the unmatched support given by the film industry. Speaking about it, he shared, \u201cThere was no one from the film industry who didn\u2019t stand by me. There are two types of help, one is where others get to know about it, and the other is done secretly, the way Sonu Sood took a stand for me\u2026\u201dHe added that there was never a time when he didn\u2019t have work. \u201cI have done 250 films in 25 years,\u201d he said. Expressing his gratitude, he noted that the industry had always been supportive of him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rajpal Yadav, who is currently enjoying the box office run of his latest release \u2018Bhooth Bangla,\u2019 recently addressed…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":605104,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[52],"tags":[263053,217672,217670,88,263052,206,213378],"class_list":{"0":"post-605103","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-movies","8":"tag-20-crore-loss","9":"tag-ata-pata-laapata","10":"tag-cheque-bounce-case","11":"tag-entertainment","12":"tag-film-industry-support","13":"tag-movies","14":"tag-rajpal-yadav"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/605103","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=605103"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/605103\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/605104"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=605103"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=605103"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=605103"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
