In a recent development, Rajpal Yadav has addressed a controversy involving Akshay Kumar during the promotions for their upcoming film, Bhooth Bangla. The incident gained traction after a viral video surfaced, showing Akshay Kumar asking Yadav to move aside during a group photo.
Yadav clarified that the gesture was a respectful adjustment for the photo, stating, “If I talk about the controversy of that day, both Akshay and Ekta had come along with the other two girls. I was late, and they were waiting for me.” He emphasized that Akshay Kumar prefers to arrange group photos with females in the middle.
The film Bhooth Bangla is set to release on April 10, 2026, and both actors have a long professional history, having collaborated on multiple projects in the past.
In addition to the controversy, Rajpal Yadav is currently out on interim bail in a Rs 9 crore cheque bounce case. The Delhi High Court has extended his interim bail until April 1, 2026. Yadav has decided to contest the cheque bounce case in court rather than settle it out of court.
Reflecting on his relationship with Akshay Kumar, Yadav stated, “In life, he loves me, I love him, and I get inspired by him somewhere.” He further remarked on the public’s perception of the incident, saying, “This is actually the deep-rooted moral values of Akshay Paji… I don’t know what people thought from a distance.”
Despite the ongoing legal issues, Yadav’s focus remains on the promotion of Bhooth Bangla and maintaining a positive rapport with his co-stars.
The controversy has sparked discussions among fans and media, with many expressing support for both actors. As the release date approaches, the dynamics between Yadav and Kumar will be closely watched.
Details remain unconfirmed regarding any further developments in the cheque bounce case or additional reactions from Akshay Kumar.
