A Pune court in India has issued legal notices to famous Bollywood actors Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi.
The notices were issued following a complaint filed by lawyer Wajid Khan Bidkar against their upcoming movie “Jolly LLB 3.
” The complainant alleges that the film mocks the legal system and court proceedings.
In his petition, Bidkar argued that “Jolly LLB 3” portrays the legal profession in a derogatory manner and insults the judiciary.
The petitioner also objected to a scene in the film where judges are referred to as “mamu” (a colloquial slang word).
The court, after issuing the notices, has asked Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi to appear before it on September 28, 2025.
This isn’t the first time complaints have been filed against “Jolly LLB 3.
” In May 2024, the Ajmer District Bar Association President, Chandrabhan, filed a similar complaint against the filmmakers.
He claimed that the franchise disrespects the Indian judiciary system by presenting lawyers and judges in an “inappropriate” way that he described as “humorous and indecent.
” Chandrabhan had also urged the court to halt the film’s shooting.
