When will Rajpal Yadav hold a press conference?

Rajpal Yadav has been regularly interacting with the media since his release from jail on February 17th, but now he's preparing to hold an official press conference. He had previously hinted at this to media, though he hadn't disclosed the date. Now, Rajpal has confirmed the date. The comedian will speak to the press on February 28th, the last day of this month, to answer all questions. 

He took a loan for his directorial debut.

In 2010, Rajpal Yadav took a loan of approximately ₹5 crore from a Delhi-based company, Murli Project Private Limited, to make a film. Some reports described this as an investment, with the financier wanting to launch his grandson.

After the film flopped, Rajpal Yadav failed to repay the loan. Post-dated cheques were issued, but they bounced. With interest, penalties, and legal expenses, the amount grew to approximately ₹9 crore (approximately $1.5 million). The case reached court under the Cheque Bounce Act (Section 138 below). After a lengthy legal battle, Rajpal Yadav surrendered to Delhi's Tihar Jail on February 5, 2026. After spending a few days in jail, he was granted interim bail (until March 18, 2026) upon depositing ₹2.5 crore (approximately $1.5 million).
