A three-judge bench of the Supreme Court granted Rajpal Yadav major relief by giving him some more time to pay the money, following a hearing on his cheque bounce case involving M/s Murli Projects Private Limited.
Rajpal Yadav argued that his film 'Aata Pata Lapata' caused him massive losses over 13 years, ruining his branding and reducing 17 crores to dust due to a 5-crore loan dispute, while assuring the court he would make a film titled '16 Saavan Jhelkar' about his struggles.
The dispute began around 2010 when Rajpal Yadav borrowed about 5 crore rupees from Murli Projects Private Limited to produce his directorial debut film 'Aata Pata Lapata', which subsequently flopped and led to bounced repayment cheques and subsequent criminal proceedings.
