“Sir, what should I do? I don’t have any money. I don’t see any other solution,” Filmibeat, reported quoting the actor’s plea to the court.
When asked whether he had sought help from friends in the industry, he added, “Sir, yahan hum sab akele hain (sir, we are alone here). There are no friends. I have to deal with this crisis on my own.”
Meanwhile, Sonu Sood and Gurmeet Choudhary have expressed their willingness to support Rajpal. Gurmeet also urged filmmakers, producers, and others in the industry to step forward to help him. Sonu Sood, on the other hand, announced on X that he would cast Rajpal in his film and urged other filmmakers to provide signing amount for their upcoming projects to the actor.
Rajpal was last seen on the big screen in Varun Dhawan’s ‘Baby John’ and is set to appear in Akshay Kumar’s upcoming films ‘Bhoot Bangla’ and ‘Welcome To The Jungle.’
