Rajpal Yadav urges film federation for major funding reform; says, 'I am a man of Rs 1500 crores'

Rajpal Yadav recently held a press conference in Mumbai to share his side of the story in the Rs 9 crore debt case. During the media interaction, he thanked everyone who came forward to help him. At the same time, he also appealed to the film federation to create a formal investment fund and a contract framework so that such cases will not happen again.

Let's learn more about what he said.

Rajpal Yadav calls for financial backing model in film industry

While speaking to ANI, Rajpal Yadav emphasized the need to standardize agreements related to the finances within the film fraternity. He said, "I request the whole film federation to agree with an investment fund for film finance to go ahead. They should create a basic platform, which the foreign investors, as well as the actors, should follow. If this happens, it will be very easy."The actor further shared, "It has been 26 years since I have been working, and at least 200 agreements have been made, from Rs 1 lakh to 1.5 lakhs to 15 lakhs. If I had fought on the agreement, then why do I have only one case and no one else? I am saying this again and again, that no matter which machine, I have been asked, where does Rs 5 crores come from, and where does it go? I am a man of Rs1500 crores... I am saying that, whatever is behind this film, I am ready to support it, but the intention of Rs 5 crores behind this film is wrong.

It is wrong to take money and trap people. The intention of Madhav and Mithilesh was not right. That is why this is a fight of three people. No one knows about the rest."
