Rajpal Yadav Walks Out On Interim Bail As Businessman Speaks Out Over ₹9 Crore Debt Dispute

Actor Rajpal Yadav is set to walk out of Delhi’s Tihar Jail after being granted interim bail by the Delhi High Court in a long-running ₹9-crore debt case.

As the actor received temporary relief, businessman Madhav Gopal Agrawal has now spoken publicly about the financial dispute that began over a decade ago.

“I Cried In Front Of Him”

In an interview, Agrawal said he first met Yadav through former MP Mithilesh Kumar Katheria. According to him, the actor sought financial help to complete his 2012 film Ata Pata Laapata, claiming the project was nearly finished and urgently required funds.

Agrawal alleged that he initially hesitated but eventually extended a loan of ₹5 crore after emotional appeals — including messages from Yadav’s wife, Radha. He maintains the money was a loan, not an investment, and that a personal guarantee was provided.

“I even cried in front of him like a child,” Agrawal claimed, saying he had borrowed funds himself to arrange the amount. He said the agreement clearly stated that repayment would not depend on the film’s success, censor clearance, or box office performance.

Agreements, Cheques And Legal Battle

When repayment did not happen on time, Agrawal said supplementary agreements were signed three times, with fresh cheques issued each time.

He further claimed that when megastar Amitabh Bachchan attended the film’s music launch, he realised the project was nearing release despite pending dues. Agrawal then approached court to halt the film’s release.

A settlement was later reached, and the stay was lifted — but the film reportedly failed commercially.

By 2013, with no repayment in sight, Agrawal returned to court. A settlement amount of ₹10.40 crore was eventually decided. However, he alleged that multiple cheques issued by Yadav were dishonoured, leading to further legal proceedings.

“I Just Want My Money Back”

Agrawal insists the matter is purely financial.

“I am a businessman. I just want my money back,” he said.

The case, stretching over 14 years, has drawn attention not only because of the celebrity involved but also due to the prolonged legal and financial complexities surrounding film financing and loan agreements.

With Yadav now out on interim bail, the legal battle continues.
