Rajpal Yadav back at work filming days after Tihar jail release: 'I will complete 30 years in Bollywood in 2027'

## Back on Set

Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav has resumed filming just days after being released from Tihar jail. The 53-year-old actor, known for his comedic roles, quickly returned to work on the film "Welcome to the Jungle" upon reaching Mumbai.

## Legal Battle

Yadav's recent jail stint was due to a decade-long legal issue involving a Rs 9 crore debt. This debt originated from a loan taken in 2010 to fund his directorial debut, "Ata Pata Laapata," which did not perform well at the box office. The financial failure led to a series of dishonoured cheques and subsequent legal action.

## Industry Support

During his time in jail, the Bollywood community rallied around Yadav. Actor Sonu Sood offered financial help and signed him for a new project. Other industry figures like Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, and Varun Dhawan also extended support, aiding in his release.

## Looking Ahead

Yadav expressed gratitude towards those who supported him and plans to celebrate 30 years in Bollywood in 2027. He is scheduled to hold a press conference in Mumbai on February 28 to discuss recent events and thank his supporters.
