Rajpal Yadav Jailed Over 'Ata Pata Laapata' Disaster; Amitabh Bachchan Praised Film
- •Actor Rajpal Yadav is currently serving a jail sentence in Tihar Jail due to financial troubles stemming from his 2012 directorial debut, 'Ata Pata Laapata'.
- •The film, a musical satire with a budget of 11 crore rupees, only managed to collect 42 lakh, leading to significant losses.
- •Rajpal borrowed approximately 5 crore rupees from Murli Projects Private Limited for the film, and due to non-repayment, the amount escalated to 9 crore rupees.
- •Despite Amitabh Bachchan praising Rajpal at the film's music launch, 'Ata Pata Laapata' proved to be a box office disaster.
- •After repeated failures to repay the loan and dishonored checks, courts convicted Rajpal, leading to his surrender at Tihar Jail on February 5.
