A Pune civil court has issued summons to actors Akshay Kumar, Arshad Warsi, and director Subhash Kapoor over allegations that their upcoming film Jolly LLB 3 disrespects the judiciary. The court has directed the trio to appear in person on October 28 at 11 a.m. The summons comes in response to a petition filed by lawyer Wajed Rahim Khan, who argued that the film portrays the legal profession in a derogatory manner. He raised objections to certain scenes allegedly mocking advocates and judges, including one where the word “mama,” a slang expression, is reportedly used for members of the bench. The controversy arose after the teaser of Jolly LLB 3 was unveiled on August 12, 2025. While the teaser sparked excitement among fans, it also drew criticism from sections of the legal community. Khan emphasized, “There should be respect for lawyers. That is why I filed a petition in court, because what they have shown about the advocates and the judges is wrong.” The Jolly LLB franchise began in 2013 with Warsi in the lead role, followed by the 2017 sequel Jolly LLB 2 starring Kumar, which was a box-office success. The upcoming third installment reunites both actors, with Kapoor once again in the director’s chair. Produced by Alok Jain and Ajit Andhare under Star Studio 18, the film is scheduled to release on September 19, 2025. The complaint was originally filed in 2024 after the release of the first teaser but has resurfaced now, gaining momentum as the film approaches its theatrical release.
