After spending three months in prison for non-repayment of a loan of Rs 5 crore that his company took to produce a film in 2010, actor Rajpal Yadav is all set to start shooting for his upcoming film “Time To Dance”.
In an interview with the news agency IANS, Rajpal Yadav said, “I will soon start the shooting of the film ‘Time To Dance’ alongside Sooraj Pancholi and Isabelle Kaif. We shot the film abroad. A small part of it remains. We will finish that. It could have been finished before, but I am really thankful to the producers and directors who waited for me to come back.”
“That apart, I am also wrapping up ‘Jaako Raakhe Saaiyan’. I am also in talks to work with David Dhawan and Priyadarshan. I can’t wait to go back on a film set now,” he added.
Talking about his jail term, the actor said, “I think the law is equal for everyone and no one is immune from the law of the nation, the legal system. So I followed the court’s decision as a law abiding citizen.” “I think I trusted a few people who later misused my trust. But I do not want to comment much on that. I want to move forward as I know life has a lot to offer,” he noted.
“There was a lot of discipline that we all had to follow. But I always tried to engage my mind with something or the other. I used to interact with the fellow prisoners during recreation activity; I used to conduct an interactive session that we named ‘Rajpal Ki Paathshala’. I gave a motivational speeches. Did exercise in the morning. We had access to the library and I used to sit there and read,” Rajpal concluded.
It is worth mentioning here that Rajpal Yadav is known for playing some interesting characters in films like “Kal Ho Naa Ho”, “Waqt: The Race Against Time”, “Bhool Bhulaiyaa”, “Partner”, “Bhagam Bhag” and “Judwaa 2” among several others.
