Rajpal Yadav has resumed work following his release from Tihar Jail on bail in a cheque bounce case. The actor quickly returned to Mumbai to begin shooting for *Welcome to the Jungle*, marking his first project since his jail term. Expressing gratitude to fans, he shared a heartfelt message on social media and is scheduled to attend a press conference in Mumbai on February 28.
The Delhi High Court granted Rajpal interim relief by suspending his sentence until March 18, requiring him to submit a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh and a surety bond of the same amount. The court noted that Rs 1.5 crore had already been deposited in the bank account tied to the case. Rajpal’s lawyer, Bhaskar Upadhyay, played a key role in securing this relief, with reports suggesting Amitabh Bachchan’s involvement in the legal battle.
In an interview, Rajpal reflected on his three-decade-long career and emphasized relying on his legal team for updates on his case. Directed by Ahmed Khan,
