Sonu Sood Offers Rajpal Yadav Film Role Amid Jail Sentence

Actor Sonu Sood has publicly offered a role and a signing amount to fellow actor Rajpal Yadav, who recently surrendered at Tihar Jail. Yadav was convicted in a cheque-bounce case, and Sood's gesture aims to provide financial and moral support during this challenging period.

In a social media post, Sood highlighted Yadav's significant contributions to the film industry, stating that despite his talent, timing can be brutal. He expressed his belief that the entire industry should unite to support Yadav, emphasizing solidarity over charity.

Sood's initiative is positioned as a matter of dignity, aiming to assure Yadav that he is not alone. He called upon producers, directors, and colleagues to rally around Yadav, showcasing the industry's collective strength and support system beyond professional ties.

The legal background involves a Delhi High Court order directing Yadav to surrender. The court refused to withdraw the order, citing a lack of compliance with previous instructions and expressing disapproval of scant regard for the law. A mercy plea for more time to arrange funds was denied, with the court stating that law rewards compliance, not contempt.
