As Bollywood stars Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi engage in the filming of their upcoming movie “Jolly LLB 3” in Ajmer, the comedy project has encountered legal troubles. A complaint has been filed against the film’s team in a court in Ajmer, alleging disrespect towards the judiciary system. Chandrabhan Singh Rathod, the President of Ajmer District Bar Association, lodged the complaint, stating that the franchise ridicules the Indian judiciary system, leading to a negative portrayal and damaging its reputation.
What is The Complaint about?
Chandrabhan reportedly lodged the complaint against the producer, director, and actors of the film, accusing them of mocking lawyers and judges. He stated in the complaint that the film portrays these legal professionals in an “inappropriate” and “humorous and indecent” manner.
According to the report, Chandrabhan mentioned that this decision was made based on the content of the previous “Jolly LLB” films. He expressed concern that the filmmakers and actors show a lack of respect for the country’s judiciary system and its constitutional dignity. The ongoing shooting of “Jolly LLB 3” in Ajmer, including areas like the DRM office, was cited as an example of this disrespect.
Chandrabhan highlighted specific scenes such as kicking a lawyer, chasing with a stick, depicting a judge consuming ‘gutkha’, and showing money transactions as not reflective of the reality of the legal system and not in line with the dignity of the judiciary. Additionally, the Ajmer District Bar Association has filed an application in the court of Civil Judge Ajmer North to halt the film’s shooting and has requested a notice be issued. The case is scheduled for a hearing today.
