Mumbai: Bollywood actor Rajpal Yadav is currently serving a jail sentence in Tihar Prison in connection with a cheque bounce case dating back to 2010. On February 5, he surrendered to authorities after stating that he had no other option due to lack of funds. Since then, several Bollywood stars have come forward to help him financially and morally. While Sonu Sood, Salman Khan, Ajay Devgn, Varun Dhawan, and others have extended support, fans are now questioning why Akshay Kumar has remained silent.
Rajpal Yadav’s Upcoming Films with Akshay Kumar
Rajpal Yadav is set to appear alongside Akshay Kumar in the upcoming films Bhoot Bangla and Welcome to the Jungle (Welcome 3). Following Rajpal’s imprisonment, fans have been actively commenting on Akshay Kumar’s social media posts, urging him to help his co-star. The appeal has been loud and consistent: “Please help Rajpal Sir,” they write, questioning why an actor of Akshay’s stature, who contributes heavily to taxes, has not stepped in to assist.
Industry Stars Lend a Helping Hand
The actor, reportedly in debt to the tune of ₹9 crore, has received financial help from multiple celebrities. Some contributors have disclosed the amounts, while others have not. Those who have extended support include Mika Singh, Nawazuddin Siddiqui, Sonu Sood, Guru Randhawa, Ajay Devgn, Salman Khan, Varun Dhawan, David Dhawan, Gurmeet Choudhary, KRK, Tej Pratap Yadav, and Rao Inderjit Singh.
Fans Appeal on “Bhoot Bangla” Motion Poster
Recently, Akshay Kumar released the motion poster of Bhoot Bangla, featuring Rajpal Yadav. Fans flooded the post with appeals to help Rajpal, urging, “Release Rajpal Sir, please. You pay so much tax, but what good is it if the system fails?” While several stars have publicly or privately offered assistance, Akshay Kumar has so far remained silent.
Manager Clarifies Meaning of “Help”
Rajpal Yadav’s manager, Goldie, in a conversation with SCREEN, stated that many industry figures have come forward to support the actor. “Several big stars have offered help — Sonu Sood, Salman Khan, and Ajay Devgn have shown their support. The film industry has stood like a rock behind Rajpal, which should be appreciated,” he said. He added, “When people promise help, it doesn’t necessarily mean financial assistance. The form and method of support are still being decided. All these stars are well-wishers of Rajpal.”
Fans continue to await Akshay Kumar’s response, especially with Welcome 3 and Bhoot Bangla scheduled to release soon, and the spotlight remains on whether he will step forward to support his co-star in need.
