Subhash has cracked a subject that calls for a face-off between the two Jollys. A source close to the entertainment portal PinkVilla reported: “It’s hilarious with a very relevant topic for debate in the court of law.”
There are reports that Jolly LLB 3 is going to be larger and better than the original two installments combined. Saurabh Shukla, who portrays a judge in Jolly LLB and Jolly LLB 2, will also appear in the third part.
The source said, “The idea is to create the ambiance of a big screen courtroom drama, and hence, efforts have been taken to make it a multi-genre film, with the right blend of humor with drama and thrill.”
Talking about the plot the source further added, “Finishing touches are being given to the script at the moment and the team will then move on to the pre-production stage. The idea is to take the film on screen in the first half of 2023”
