Sonu Sood backs Rajpal Yadav ahead of bail hearing
Sonu Sood is publicly supporting fellow actor Rajpal Yadav, who faces a bail hearing on February 16 in a ₹9 crore cheque bounce case.
Sood posted on X, "Today is an important day for our brother Rajpal Yadav bhai." adding he's hoping things go well and that Yadav gets the relief he deserves.
Yadav's legal issues explained
Yadav's legal issues started with a ₹5 crore loan in 2010 to fund his directorial debut, Ata Pata Laapata.
After alleged repayment defaults, unpaid dues and interest pushed the total owed to nearly ₹9 crore.
When the Delhi High Court denied him more time to pay up earlier this month, he surrendered at Tihar Jail.
Other actors have also come forward to help Yadav
Sood had already offered Yadav a role in his next film—making it clear it was about respect as much as money.
Other Bollywood stars like Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, Varun Dhawan, and Nawazuddin Siddiqui have also stepped up with financial support during this tough patch for Yadav.
