And finally, Bollywood actor and comedian Rajpal Yadav can breathe a sigh of relief as he is at last out of jail after almost 10 days. Rajpal, who was sent to Delhi's Tihar Jail on February 3 after surrendering in connection with a Rs 9 crore cheque bounce case, was granted interim bail by the Delhi High Court until March 18, 2026.
As per reports, the court noted that Rs 1.5 crore has been deposited by Rajpal's team, which was confirmed by the private company M/S Murli Project's lawyer.
Rajpal's manager, Goldie, shared the actor's first reaction after being granted bail in the cheque bounce case. "It's true that Rajpal sir has been granted bail. It is a matter of great joy and a happy day for us." Further, the manager shared that Rajpal will soon hold a press conference to address the issue, expected to take place in a day or two. Until then, no further comments can be made.
On Monday (February 16), reacting to the court's decision, the actor's brother Chandrapal Yadav maintained a composed and hopeful stance. Speaking briefly to media persons, he said, "We have no complaints. Whatever days we had, our good days are yet to come. That is all we will say for now."
Sonu Sood thanks fans and the industry for supporting Rajpal Yadav
Ahead of Rajpal Yadav's bail news, actor Sonu Sood took to social media to share a hopeful update, thanking fans for their constant prayers and support. "Because of your prayers and unwavering support, the wait is almost over. Time to get ready, the laughter you've been missing is about to return to the screen. Stay tuned," he wrote. After the bail news, Sonu Sood once again posted and breathed a sigh of relief.
The case dates back to 2010 and is linked to alleged unpaid dues that reportedly escalated to nearly Rs 9 crore following the collapse of his production venture, Ata Pata Laapata. Yadav had also moved a bail application earlier seeking permission to attend a family wedding. That interim plea was first heard on February 12 and later deferred to February 16 before the current relief was granted.
During this period, Rajpal reportedly received support from several members of the film fraternity. Actors such as Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn and Varun Dhawan, along with filmmaker David Dhawan, are said to have reached out. Singers Guru Randhawa, Mika Singh and Anup Jalota have also publicly extended financial help.
Work Front
Rajpal will be seen in Welcome to the Jungle, releasing on June 26, 2026, and Bhooth Bangla, scheduled for April 10.
