The highly anticipated courtroom drama Jolly LLB 3, directed by Subhash Kapoor, is reportedly shifting gears toward a Gandhi Jayanti 2025 release — that is, October 2, 2025 — instead of its earlier announced date of September 19.
The third film in the beloved franchise will see an exciting face-off between Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi, reprising their iconic roles from the previous two films. The buzz is already strong, and sources reveal that the final cut has left producers quite confident.
Why the Release Date Shift?
According to an exclusive Bollywood Hungama report, the team believes Jolly LLB 3 is a crowd-pleaser deserving of a holiday weekend release. Gandhi Jayanti, being a national holiday, offers a bigger box office window, and the film’s slice-of-life courtroom setting is seen as a perfect match for such a release.
“Jolly LLB 3 has shaped up very well and is among the most exciting films of the year… the film warrants a holiday release,” a trade source told the portal.
Potential Clash with Kantara 2
Currently, Rishab Shetty’s Kantara 2 is also announced for October 2, but there is growing speculation that the Kannada film might face delays. Even if it doesn’t, trade experts believe that Gandhi Jayanti can accommodate both films, given the right marketing and screen allocation.
“Jolly is a big franchise with a loyal fan base. Even in a clash scenario, it can hold its ground and rake in profits due to its controlled budget,” the source said.
