Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi's upcoming courtroom drama, Jolly LLB 3, has reportedly found itself in a legal soup. As per reports, a Pune court has issued notices to both Bollywood actors regarding their upcoming movie after a complaint was filed accusing them of insulting the Indian judiciary.
Legal notices were issued to Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi after a complaint was filed by lawyer Wajid Khan Bidkar. The lawyer claimed that the movie mocks the legal system and court proceedings. In his plea, Bidkar noted that Jolly LLB 3 portrays the legal profession in a derogatory manner and also insults the judiciary.
The petitioner objected to a particular scene in the film wherein the judges are being referred to as “mamu" (a colloquial slang word). The court issued notices to Akshay and Arshad, and has asked them to appear before it on September 28. More details about the legal proceeding are awaited.
