Mumbai, March 28 TV star Ektaa Kapoor has pledged to donate the amount she won on the reality show “Wheel Of Fortune” to actor Rajpal Yadav as a gesture of support.
Ektaa, along with Wamiqa Gabbi and Rajpal, were seen on the Akshay Kumar-hosted show to promote their upcoming film “Bhooth Bangla”. During the game, Ektaa chose to offer the winning amount to Rajpal Yadav as a form of help.
For those unfamiliar, the actor was accused by Murli Projects Pvt Ltd of defaulting on repayment. Furthermore, the actor also stated in court that the other party did not want the money in return, but they wanted him to be sent to jail.
He argued that when he went to jail, he served his sentence, and the entire issue should now be resolved as he had legally complied. He also informed that Rs 22 crore was spent on the film, not Rs 5 crore as claimed by the other party. He said that he incurred a loss of Rs 17 crore.
Rajpal Yadav's lawyer said that they had filed a regular bail application. The court granted interim bail.
Rajpal Yadav faced legal trouble in a cheque bounce case under the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881. The court found him guilty over non-payment linked to a financial dispute. Such cases arise when issued cheques are dishonoured due to insufficient funds, leading to criminal liability and penalties.
Talking about Bhooth Bangla, the film is directed by Priyadarshan. It features the iconic trio of Priyadarshan, Akshay Kumar, and Paresh Rawal. The film will also feature Tabu, Rajpal Yadav, and Mithila Palkar in important roles, along with others.
Priyadarshan's directorial has been produced by Shobha Kapoor and Ektaa R Kapoor's Balaji Telefilms in collaboration with Akshay Kumar's production house, Cape of Good Films. The film is co-produced by Faara Sheikh and Vedant Baali.
It marks Priyadarshan's second Hindi-language horror comedy film following Bhool Bhulaiyaa (2007), both of which star Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal, Rajpal Yadav, Asrani, and Manoj Joshi.
The story of the movie has been written by Akash A Kaushik, and the screenplay by Rohan Shankar, Abilash Nair, and Priyadarshan. The dialogues have been penned by Rohan Shankar.
