Mumbai: After his release from Tihar jail in a Rs 9 crore cheque-bounce case, Rajpal Yadav has stressed the need to standardise financial agreements within the film fraternity.
“I request the whole film federation to agree with an investment fund for film finance to go ahead. They should create a basic platform, which the foreign investors, as well as the actors, should follow. If this happens, it will be very easy,” the actor-comedian was quoted as saying by ANI.
“It has been 26 years since I have been working, and at least 200 agreements have been made, from Rs 1 lakh to 1.5 lakh, to 15 lakh. If I had fought on the agreement, then why do I have only one case, and no one else? I am saying this again and again, that no matter which machine, I have been asked, where does ₹5 crores come from, and where does it go? I am a man of Rs 1500 crores… I am saying that, whatever is behind this film, I am ready to support it, but the intention of Rs 5 crores behind this film is wrong. It is wrong to take money and trap people. The intention of Madhav and Mithilesh was not right. That is why this is a fight of three people. No one knows about the rest.”
Last month, the Delhi High Court granted interim bail to Rajpal till March 18, subject to his depositing Rs 1 lakh as bail bond and furnishing one surety.
On the work front, Rajpal will next be seen in Akshay Kumar-starrer horror comedy ‘Bhooth Bangla’.
