Financial crisis
Here's more about the case
The case dates back to 2010 when Yadav borrowed ₹5 crore from Murali Projects Pvt Ltd for his directorial debut Ata Pata Laapata. The film flopped, leaving him unable to repay the loan. Seven checks issued later bounced, leading to legal action. In April 2018, a Magisterial Court convicted Yadav and his wife Radha, sentencing him to six months of simple imprisonment.
Industry support
Support from fellow actors
After Yadav's imprisonment, several Bollywood actors including Sonu Sood, Gurmeet Choudhary, and Guru Randhawa came forward to support him. Reports suggest that superstars Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn also extended their support to Yadav. His wife Radha thanked the industry insiders who supported them during this difficult time.
