‘This Was Never Just About Money’
Rajpal has previously spoken at length about the long-running financial dispute. During an appearance on journalist Shubhankar Mishra’s podcast, he claimed that if the issue had merely involved Rs 5 crore, it would have been resolved years ago. According to the actor, the disagreement ultimately affected a much larger project valued at around Rs 22 crore, with significant production already completed before the dispute escalated.
In another interview, Rajpal suggested that the matter had gone beyond finances and had become an issue of “ego, jealousy and resentment”. He added that any further resolution would now depend entirely on the courts.
On the professional front, Rajpal continues to remain one of Bollywood’s busiest character actors. Reports suggest he charged around Rs 1.25 crore for Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, while his remuneration for films such as Welcome To The Jungle and Bhooth Bangla is also reported to be in the crore range. He is expected to appear in several upcoming projects, including Welcome To The Jungle, Ghamasaan and other major productions in the coming years.
