The Supreme Court directed actor Rajpal Yadav to deposit Rs 2 crore by October 13 as a condition to hear his plea challenging the High Court order. Yadav presented a demand draft for ₹1.15 crore in court, while the remaining Rs 85 lakh is scheduled to be paid through a property buyer.
The legal battle stems from Yadav's 2012 film titled Ata Pata Laapata. Murli Projects Pvt Ltd had extended a loan to Yadav in 2010 for the film production, after which seven repayment cheques of Rs 1.05 crore each were dishonoured.
Speaking to the media in Delhi, Rajpal Yadav asserted that loans are not taken out to make movies, noting that loans are meant for building houses or buying land rather than film production. He claimed that Ata Pata Laapata resulted in massive losses of around Rs 200-250 crore.
