Sonu Sood breaks silence after Rajpal Yadav rejects his public plea for help: ‘Didn’t say he needs work’

In a recent interaction with HT City, Sonu responded to Rajpal’s stern remark and said, “Happy for him. I didn’t say he needs work. I said “Sign him and pay advances because he deserves it”.

What did Sonu tweet?

When Rajpal surrendered at Tihar Jail, Sonu had tweeted in the actor’s support. He wrote, “Rajpal Yadav is a gifted actor who has given years of unforgettable work to our industry. Sometimes life turns unfair, not because of talent, but because timing can be brutal. He will be part of my film, and I believe this is the moment for all of us..producers, directors, colleagues to stand together. A small signing amount, adjustable against future work, is not charity, it’s dignity. When one of our own is going through a tough phase, the industry must remind him he’s not alone. This is how we show we are more than just an industry.”

Some of it is fees and some of it is shares in the projects. I have 10 films in line.”
