The source further added that the marketing team is aiming for a massive campaign. 'Cross film promotion is the best and most effective medium of marketing. The team of Jolly is well aware of the pre-release expectations, and this will be among the best-promoted films of AK. The entire asset campaign is planned in advance — from teaser to songs and a trailer. In fact, the team is presently shooting for a promotional song in Mumbai with the two Jollys," the insider added. Directed by Subhash Kapoor, Jolly LLB 3 also features franchise regulars like Saurabh Shukla, along with Huma Qureshi and Amrita Rao in pivotal roles.

Popular 200-year-old British department store to RETURN to high street after shutting its doors just months ago
A POPULAR 200-year-old British department store is set to return to the high street in months after shutting earlier this year. The historic Jolly's, in central Bath, will reopen in Spring 2026 after being taken on by Morleys Stores Ltd. 2 2 Contractors Bray and Slaughter have now kicked off restoration works on the iconic building, which is owned by Bath and North East Somerset Council. Renovations will be carried out on the outside of the shop first, including roof and window repairs, with drainage refreshed as well. The inside of the building, which first opened in 1823 and is found on Milsom Street, will then given a makeover. Councillor Mark Elliott, cabinet member for Resources, said: 'We are investing significantly in restoration of the building so it can continue to benefit future generations of Bath residents and visitors. "I'll be taking a very active interest in progress as work is carried out to preserve the historic fabric of this flagship building." Jolly's, which was previously owned by the Frasers Group, closed its doors for good in February. The announcement of the closure was made in December 2024, with a major closing down sale launched in the following months. But the shop was taken on by Morleys Stores this Spring, who signed a lease to take over the site and return it to its former glory. The company, which owns department stores across the UK, has confirmed Jollys will reopen in two phases – a soft launch in March 2026, followed by a full reopening in October. Bosses say the store will feature fashion, beauty, and homeware, including brands never before seen in Bath. Britain's retail apocalypse: why your favourite stores KEEP closing down Allan Winstanley, chief executive of Morleys, said: 'We're thrilled that work is underway restoring Jolly's to its former glory. "We're extremely proud to be another step closer to taking stewardship of Jolly's and creating a world class shopping experience for the people of Bath and its many visitors." Grant Jefferies, managing director of Bray and Slaughter, added: "Growing up near Bath, Jolly's has been a constant presence on Milsom Street during my life and to have the opportunity to showcase our technical skills and deliver a project which will secure a future for the site is a challenge my colleagues and I are proud to be entrusted with." Other retailers making a return to the high street The retail sector has been hit hard in recent years, with thousands of shops closing across the UK. The Centre for Retail Research has described the sector as going through a "permacrisis" since the 2008 financial crash. In 2024 alone, more than 13,000 high street stores were shuttered for good, according to the Centre. But some retailers are bucking the closure trend and making a return to the high street. Shirtmaker T.M. Lewin is gearing up to open more stores in London, Manchester and Edinburgh after opening one branch in the English capital. It comes after the chain collapsed into administration in 2020, then for a second time in 2022. Meanwhile, Cath Kidston opened a new store in October after falling into administration in June 2023. Wilko has re-launched on the high street too after going bust in 2023. The major brand and feature on high streets shut hundreds of stores after calling in administrators. Its new owners, CDS Superstores, have opened branches across the UK. Why are retailers closing shops? EMPTY shops have become an eyesore on many British high streets and are often symbolic of a town centre's decline. The Sun's business editor Ashley Armstrong explains why so many retailers are shutting their doors. In many cases, retailers are shutting stores because they are no longer the money-makers they once were because of the rise of online shopping. Falling store sales and rising staff costs have made it even more expensive for shops to stay open. The British Retail Consortium has predicted that the Treasury's hike to employer NICs from April 2025, will cost the retail sector £2.3billion. At the same time, the minimum wage will rise to £12.21 an hour from April, and the minimum wage for people aged 18-20 will rise to £10 an hour, an increase of £1.40. In some cases, retailers are shutting a store and reopening a new shop at the other end of a high street to reflect how a town has changed. The problem is that when a big shop closes, footfall falls across the local high street, which puts more shops at risk of closing. Retail parks are increasingly popular with shoppers, who want to be able to get easy, free parking at a time when local councils have hiked parking charges in towns. Many retailers including Next and Marks & Spencer have been shutting stores on the high street and taking bigger stores in better-performing retail parks instead. In some cases, stores have been shut when a retailer goes bust, as in the case of Carpetright, Debenhams, Dorothy Perkins, Paperchase, Ted Baker, The Body Shop, Topshop and Wilko to name a few. What's increasingly common is when a chain goes bust a rival retailer or private equity firm snaps up the intellectual property rights so they can own the brand and sell it online. They may go on to open a handful of stores if there is customer demand, but there are rarely ever as many stores or in the same places. The Centre for Retail Research (CRR) has warned that around 17,350 retail sites are expected to shut down this year.
