Rajpal Yadav and Amitabh Bachchan
Actor Rajpal Yadav, who was recently granted interim bail by the Delhi High Court from Tihar jail in the Rs 9 crore cheque bounce case, continues to make headlines as newer developments in the case emerge. A complaint was reportedly filed against him by businessman Madhav Gopal Aggarwal. Now, the actor's lawyer has shared insights into the case. Interestingly, Bhaskar Upadhyay, the lawyer, revealed that the case originated after an incident involving actor Amitabh Bachchan.
Bhaskar told Hindustan Times that Madhav had loaned Rs 5 crores to Rajpal Yadav for his film Ata Pata Laapata, wherein both of them had signed an agreement followed by three supplemental agreements till August 2012. According to the latest document, Rajpal had issued five cheques to the businessman, which had to be cashed starting from December 2012. However, it was the music launch of the film, which took place back in September 2012, that started the current lawsuit.
