Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi will soon be seen in Jolly LLB 3.
Arshad Warsi will reprise his role from the first film and will go head-on against Akshay Kumar’s character in the second film.
Jolly LLB 3 is all set to go on floors this summer, as per the latest reports. Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi are all set to return for Jolly LLB 3 and will be reprising their respective roles in the film. As per a source, Arshad is set to kickstart the next shooting schedule soon in Rajasthan.
A source close to the development revealed, “Arshad Warsi will begin a month-long schedule in Rajasthan soon. The pre-production work on the location has already begun.” The film, directed by Subhash Kapoor, was said to go on floors in May. It will also star Akshay Kumar as one of the leads.
In 2017, Akshay Kumar and Huma Qureshi starred in Jolly LLB 2, a spiritual sequel to Jolly LLB, released in 2013. The first film featured Arshad Warsi and Saurabh Shukla in the lead roles. While Jolly LLB went on to become a sleeper hit, Jolly LLB 2 garnered both commercial and critical success for its nuanced screenplay and performances.
As per reports, it is said that in the third instalment, both the Jolly’s will be at loggerheads, Saurabh Shukla will be seen playing the judge in this one too. Makers have reportedly finalized a relevant case too.
“It’s basically Jolly vs. Jolly, and the entire cast is excited to start shooting for this ambitious film for the Jolly LLB franchise. The team is still contemplating two titles titled Jolly LLB 3 or Jolly vs. Jolly, and a call on the same will be taken closer to the announcement. The film is expected to kick off around May 2024 with a marathon schedule,” a source had earlier told Pinkvilla.
However, so far no announcement has been made about the film’s leading lady. It is said that Jolly LLB 3 will be shot throughout 2024 and it might hit the big screens in 2025. The film will be backed by Akshay Kumar’s production house, Cape of Good Films, along with Disney.
Earlier, in an interview with the Hindustan Times, Arshad explained the reason behind going MIA in Jolly LLB 2. He shared, “I have no idea. I have a feeling the makers wanted to upscale the film. I remember I told Subhash (Kapoor, director) also, ‘You should do it with Akshay. If you want to show a crowd in a courtroom, with me it will be 500; with Akshay, you will get 5000′. Somewhere, the production people realized, ‘Let’s get a bigger star’. People liked to see me, so I am back. People will enjoy seeing me and Akshay.”
Besides Jolly LLB 3, Akshay and Arshad will also be seen sharing the screen in Welcome To The Jungle, the third instalment of the Welcome franchise.
