# Bollywood's Brotherhood Shines: Vijender Singh Joins Salman Khan and Sonu Sood in Backing Rajpal Yadav Amid Cheque Bounce Crisis **Imagine a comedy king behind bars—not for a script, but a bounced cheque worth crores.** Rajpal Yadav, the beloved funnyman from *Hera Pheri* and countless hits, is currently in Tihar Jail facing a ₹9 crore cheque bounce case stemming from a 2010 loan for his directorial debut *Ata Pata Laapata*, which ballooned due to interest and unpaid dues.[1][6] Despite partial repayments of ₹2.5 crore, the Delhi High Court adjourned his bail plea to February 16, 2026, emphasizing accountability for all.[2][3][5] In a heartwarming twist, Bollywood and beyond are rallying for Yadav. Salman Khan and Sonu Sood have publicly offered support, with Sood urging industry aid for the family. Boxer-turned-actor **Vijender Singh** has stepped up too, offering Yadav a role in his next film as a show of solidarity amid the legal storm.[1] Yadav's lawyer revealed negotiations on a 2012 agreement are ongoing, with more payments ready, but the court remains firm on past breaches of over 20 undertakings.[3][4][5] This saga highlights the raw side of showbiz: dreams funded by loans that turn nightmarish when films flop. Yadav surrendered on February 5 after court orders, rejecting special treatment for celebrities.[1][4] Yet, voices like director Priyadarshan lament it as a "blunder from poor education," boosting Yadav's fee in past projects.[7] A viral video falsely claimed his release—debunked as old footage.[1] Fans, this is where **solidarity meets reality**. Will industry backing sway the February 16 hearing? Share your thoughts below—what's your take on celeb support in crises like this? **Comment if you've got Yadav's back, or share this post to spread the word and rally more help!**
