according to the http://www.pinkvilla.com
The upcoming film Jolly LLB 3, starring Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi, is set to release on September 19, 2025. However, even before hitting the big screens, the film has landed in controversy. A Pune-based court has issued summons to both lead actors, following a petition filed by two lawyers who alleged that the film disrespects the judiciary.
Teaser Sparks Controversy — Allegations of Mocking the Judiciary
The teaser of Jolly LLB 3 was released recently, and while it generated buzz, it also sparked criticism. In the teaser, both Akshay and Arshad reprise their roles as lawyers, engaging in courtroom arguments. However, certain scenes and dialogues — including Akshay referring to a judge as “mamu” and a physical brawl in the courtroom — have raised eyebrows. According to the complainants, such portrayals amount to ridiculing the court and the legal profession.
Lawyers Allege Misuse of Creative Liberty
The two Pune-based lawyers who filed the case argue that Jolly LLB 3 crosses the line under the pretext of “creative liberty.” They claim the film mocks the dignity of lawyers and the judicial system. The issue was further aggravated when, during the film’s promotions, Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi were seen wearing lawyer attire paired with toy bands — a move the petitioners found disrespectful.
Background of the ‘Jolly LLB’ Franchise
The Jolly LLB franchise is known for blending courtroom drama with light-hearted comedy. The first film, released in 2013, starred Arshad Warsi as Jolly, a struggling lawyer. Its critical and commercial success led to the sequel, Jolly LLB 2, in 2017, featuring Akshay Kumar in the titular role. Both films received praise for their socially relevant themes presented in an entertaining manner.
