Rajpal Yadav’s Shahjahanpur property sealed over unpaid loan: Reports

Rajpal Yadav, a Bollywood actor, is facing financial difficulties after the Central Bank of India sealed his property in Shahjahanpur. The actor had mortgaged the home to get a loan for his production company, Shri Naurang Godavari Entertainment Limited. Yadav's production company, legally owned by his wife Radha Yadav, planned to make a film starring himself and the late actor Om Puri. The film also included Shahjahanpur-based talent. However, the enterprise appears to have reached a stumbling block.

According to reports, the loan, first obtained from the Central Bank of India's Mumbai branch, escalated to a whopping Rs 11 crore due to missing installments. Due to the rising debt, the bank decided to seal the property on August 8. Interestingly, the procedure was conducted out discreetly, with no involvement from local authorities.

With that said, neither the bank nor the actor have issued an official remark on the topic. This is not the first time the actor has had legal problems with this loan. Rajpal Yadav was sentenced to three months in prison in 2018 after failing to repay the loan. Despite the setback, the performer maintained a wonderful spirit. Rajpal Yadav spoke with prominent YouTuber Siddharth Kannan last year about his prison experience. He said that he offered workshops for other detainees, inspiring them to find purpose and optimism. The actor's ability to turn adversity into an opportunity to help others is admirable.

On the professional front, Rajpal is eagerly awaiting the release of his upcoming flicks, Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3 and Welcome To The Jungle.

Rajpal Yadav Pays Respect To Veteran Industrialist Ratan Tata | People News

Mumbai: Actor-comedian Rajpal Yadav on Thursday paid his respects to veteran industrialist Ratan Tata, who passed away on Wednesday night. Ratan Tata, the Chairman Emeritus of Tata Sons, died at the age of 86 at Breach Candy Hospital in Mumbai. Speaking to ANI, Rajpal Yadav expressed his admiration for Ratan Tata, recalling how the industrialist had been an inspiration to him since childhood. He…

[getmemymicroscope]

This starts off as a local, fun "who stole the politician's jackfruits" and turns into a slightly larger scale scathing piece on the ridiculousness of political power (the head guy puts more effort and force into finding the jackfruit than the missing girls, or any of the other cases they have on their desk), the absurdity of a patriarchal society (again, the statements the entire movie about the missing girl, and even just how 43 missing girls are ignored), the never-ending love of the caste-based system intermixed with the whole man v/s woman dynamics, and even the levels of politician-related corruption - or at least the lack of power, or willpower, to go against what they say/want (when she's told to arrest the clearly not guilty gardener and blame him anyways). Oh, there's also a major shift in the plot from "missing jackfuit" to "chase down the kidnappers and find the kidnapped girl," which takes over the second half of the movie and essentially leaves the jackfruit bit unsolved until the very very end (as in, mid-credits scene).

Our two unwavering characters, funnily enough, are our lead (played wonderfully by Sanya Malhotra), a clearly frustrated inspector who has to deal with the downstream effects of caste-ism, sexism, an inept set of constables working under her, and political power and professional corruption, and Rajpal Yadav, who has a smaller role as a news broadcaster who actually seems to have some sort of moral compass (okay, he's clearly driven by the desire to be seen - but at least, when confronted with something, he takes on the bigger story and doesn't screw things up).

It would probably have been hard to make a 2 hour movie just on investigating the stolen fruit, and obviously they were going for a larger, more universal message about the absurdity of politicians, corruption, caste-ism, and the complete lack of respect or regard for women, but ... it feels like a very hard-hitting set of themes that sort of fall flat given how quickly everything is resolved (or, on the other hand, how much of it goes unresolved).

And there's no real fall-out for anyone - which I guess is very real-world. The politician is unscathed, minus the loss of the jackfruit; her superiors will keep on keeping on; the folks in the towns will continue to badmouth the girl because she wears ripped jeans; her boyfriend's father will continue to bring caste, and sexism, into everything; her constable's husband will continue to not be of any help to anything (even picking up the bag of spilled potatoes).

And maybe that's how it is aimed - the movie ends with one girl saved, one (well, 4) bad persons caught; but beyond that, life just goes on as it was going before these events happened. One case solved isn't going to change the country, change the people or their mindsets, change the world - you just gotta do your thing, then start over and do it all over again. Over and over, until you can't any more. None of these things change overnight.

I can applaud what they were going for, and the acting. But it feels like we were dropped into a messed up world that remains completely messed up as we leave the world, and you just leave a bit unsatisfied that things aren't going to change for the better. Also, the subplots with her constables - especially that whole missing car plot - was obviously going to tie in at the end (Chekhov's gun, if you want), but it also did get a bit annoying how she would harp on the other constable about his unwillingness to help others (admittedly, this was more of a caste-based message, I think) whilst she kept shutting this other guy up about his car (maybe a message about 'policemen matters don't suddenly become more important than other folks' matters,' but that is never stated, and it just seems like she finds him annoying - which, we do too, but that doesn't change the fact that it is technically a case; and she rebuffs him because the jackfruit is more important than car, because politician, but then immediately turns around and says girl is more important than the jackfruit - she's right, but her message comes across a bit weaker because of how the responds, I feel).

Given the land around, I can't believe that their first thought wouldn't be "monkeys," but then, that's definitely a politician's family, so maybe they're all just dumb in the head.
