# Bollywood Stars Unite: Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, and Varun Dhawan Rally to Save Rajpal Yadav from Rs 9 Crore Debt Crisis! Imagine the king of comedy, **Rajpal Yadav**, behind bars in Tihar Jail—not for a blockbuster script, but a real-life nightmare of bounced cheques and mounting debts. On February 5, after the Delhi High Court rejected his final plea for extension, the beloved actor from *Phir Hera Pheri* and *Hungama* surrendered, pleading, "Sir, kya karoon? Mere paas paise nahin hain."[3][2] This heartbreaking saga traces back to 2010, when Rajpal borrowed Rs 5 crore from Murali Projects Pvt Ltd to fund his directorial debut *Ata Pata Laapata*. The film flopped, cheques bounced, and a Section 138 case under the Negotiable Instruments Act snowballed into a Rs 9 crore liability. Despite partial payments like Rs 75 lakh in October 2025 and another Rs 1.11 crore from music producer Rao Inderjeet Singh post-surrender, the court cited "lack of seriousness" and ordered immediate jail time.[4][1][2] But here's the Bollywood magic kicking in: Just as fans feared the worst, heavyweights stepped up! Rajpal's manager revealed that **Salman Khan**, **Ajay Devgn**, and **Varun Dhawan** are among those offering support to clear the debt. Sonu Sood, Guru Randhawa, Gurmeet Choudhary, KRK (pledging Rs 10 lakh), and even politician Tej Pratap Yadav (Rs 11 lakh) have joined the chorus. The manager remains optimistic: "Rajpal Bhai is strong... Bail hearing is tomorrow, and we hope he's out soon for family celebrations."[3]
