Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi summoned to Pune Court for allegedly disrespecting judiciary in ‘Jolly LLB 3'
The teaser for Jolly LLB 3, unveiled on August 12, sparked anticipation among fans but has also drawn scrutiny from sections of the legal community.
The summons follows a petition filed by lawyer Wajed Rahim Khan, who argued that the film portrays the legal profession in a derogatory manner. He raised objections to scenes allegedly mocking advocates and judges, including one in which the word 'mama,' a slang expression, is used to refer to members of the bench.
'There should be respect for the lawyers. That is why I filed a petition in the court, that whatever they have shown about the advocates and the judges is wrong,' Khan told ANI, confirming that the Pune court had called upon Kumar, Warsi, and Kapoor to be present.
The complaint was initially submitted in 2024 after the release of the film's first teaser. The matter has since resurfaced as Jolly LLB 3 nears its theatrical release.
The Jolly LLB franchise began in 2013 with Warsi in the lead role, followed by the 2017 sequel Jolly LLB 2 starring Kumar, which proved to be a major box-office success. The third installment brings both actors together, with Subhash Kapoor once again directing. The film is produced by Alok Jain and Ajit Andhare under Star Studio 18 and is slated to release on September 19, 2025.
