Akshay Kumar And Arshad Warsi Get Notice, Accused Of Insulting Judiciary In Jolly LLB 3
Jolly LLB 3 features an impressive cast including Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi, Saurabh Shukla, Huma Qureshi, Amrita Rao, and Gajraj Rao. A Pune court has issued notices to Bollywood actors Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi regarding their upcoming movie, Jolly LLB 3. The notices were issued after a complaint was filed by lawyer Wajid Khan Bidkar, who claimed that the movie mocks the legal system and court proceedings. In his plea, Bidkar argued that Jolly LLB 3 portrays the legal profession in a derogatory manner and insults the judiciary. The petitioner also objected to a scene in the film in which judges are being referred as 'mamu" (a colloquial slang word). Issuing the notices, the court has asked Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi to appear before it on September 28. More details are awaited. Not First Complaint Against Jolly LLB 3 This is not the first time that a complaint has been filed against Jolly LLB 3. In May 2024 too, the film landed in legal trouble when the Ajmer District Bar Association President, Chandrabhan, filed a complaint against the makers of the film, alleging the franchise disrespects the Indian judiciary system. In his complaint, Chandrabhan claimed that the film presents lawyers and judges in an 'inappropriate" way which, he termed, was 'humorous and indecent". Chandrabhan had also urged the court to stop the Jolly LLB 3 shooting. 'This decision has been taken considering the first and second parts of Jolly LLB. It seems that the filmmakers, directors and actors do not respect the dignity and prestige of the judiciary of the country's Constitution at all. The shooting of Jolly LLB 3 is going on in the surrounding villages and areas including the DRM office of Ajmer, which will continue for several days. Even during the shooting of this film, the actors of the film do not seem to be at all serious about the image, prestige and dignity of the judiciary including the judges," Chandrabhan had said as quoted by NBT. What Do We Know About Jolly LLB? The first Jolly LLB film was released in 2013. Its sequel hit theatres in 2017. The first film featured Arshad Warsi and Saurabh Shukla in the lead roles. In the sequel, Akshay Kumar replaced Arshad Warsi. He was also joined by Huma Qureshi. Produced by Star Studio18 and brought to life by writer-director Subhash Kapoor, Jolly LLB 3 features an impressive cast including Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi, Saurabh Shukla, Huma Qureshi, Amrita Rao, and Gajraj Rao.
