Akshay Kumar

In an earlier interview to hitlist, Arshad Warsi had said, "It is the insecurity of the production house that they decided to go with Akshay [Kumar]. It was a calculated business move by the marketing and PR team; Akshay's presence is enough to get them publicity." Without taking names, the film's director Subhash Kapoor cleared the air. "When I wrote the first draft of 'Jolly LLB', Akshay was the first actor I approached. We couldn't work together because of date issues. The template of my film is that of a courtroom drama. Unlike the Munnabhai series where the character is the same, here, the setting remains unchanged."
