Rajpal Yadav has become the talk of the town ever since he surrendered in Tihar Jail following the Rs 9 crore cheque bounce case. The actor, who was once a part of several superhit films, is now facing a major financial crisis after he tried making a movie and the situation did not favour him. But do you know that this isn’t the first time a case like this has come to light? A couple of years earlier, a famous comedian also lost everything while producing a movie.
Comedian who went bankrupt while producing a film
A famous comedian, who today enjoys a massive fan following and has a whopping net worth, once went bankrupt while trying to produce a film. Yes, if you are wondering who we are talking about, this person is none other than the famous comedian Kapil Sharma.
Kapil Sharma once lost crores while producing a film
Kapil Sharma is today considered one of the most famous comedians in the country. However, there was a time when everything was at stake and he lost it all.
The story goes back to 2017 and 2018 when Sharma decided to learn filmmaking. The actor produced a movie called Firangi, where he not only served as a producer but also acted in the movie.
Despite having huge hopes, the movie turned out to be a huge flop. Kapil did not give up on his dream and once again tried to produce a Punjabi film called Son of Manjeet Singh.
However, this film also failed to do well at the box office. Both films flopped. Kapil himself has admitted in several interviews and podcasts that he invested a lot of money in the productions but lacked producer training, so much so that he lost everything. As a result, Sharma’s bank balance went to 0.
Kapil Sharma went into depression
As a result, Kapil Sharma went into depression. It was hard for him to accept the loss. Those days turned into a nightmare for Kapil. However, the actor-turned-comedian eventually recovered with the help of his wife Ginni, who helped him recover from the loss.
Today, Kapil is a well-known comedian who not only enjoys his following in India but also across the globe.
