Background
Released in 2013, directed by Subhash Kapoor and produced by Fox Star Studios, Jolly LLB was a sleeper hit. The film starred Arshad Warsi as advocate Jolly Tyagi, with Boman Irani, Amrita Rao, and Saurabh Shukla in key roles. Reportedly mounted on a decent budget of ₹10 crore, the film benefited from good word of mouth and earned ₹48.7 crore at the box office.
Four years later, the sequel Jolly LLB 2 was released, with Akshay Kumar playing the lead as advocate Jolly Mishra.
Subhash Kapoor returned to direct the sequel, which also featured Huma Qureshi, Annu Kapoor, and Kumud Mishra. Saurabh Shukla, Sanjay Mishra, and Brijendra Kala reprised their characters from the original film.
The new film has brought Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi together for the first time.
