Actor Gurmeet Choudhary has stepped in to support actor Rajpal Yadav, who on Thursday surrendered and was sent to Delhi's Tihar Jail in connection with a Rs 9 crore debt and cheque bounce case. Rajpal had taken a loan of Rs 5 crore in 2010 to fund his directorial debut, Ata Pata Laapata, which later flopped. Gurmeet also urged filmmakers, producers, and members of the film fraternity to come forward and support Rajpal.

I humbly request all producers, directors, and members of our film fraternity—let’s come together, with compassion and humanity, and find a solution. Our industry is a family. And family does not abandon its own."

This comes after Sonu Sood announced that he would be offering Rajpal a film and appealed to other filmmakers to give the Rajpal a signing amount for their upcoming projects.Rajpal Yadav
"Rajpal Yadav is a gifted actor who has given years of unforgettable work to our industry. Sometimes life turns unfair, not because of talent, but because timing can be brutal. He will be part of my film, and I believe this is the moment for all of us..producers, directors, colleagues to stand together. A small signing amount, adjustable against future work, is not charity, it’s dignity. When one of our own is going through a tough phase, the industry must remind him he’s not alone. This is how we show we are more than just an industry," Sood wrote on his X.
