Amrita Rao To Reprise Her Role For Jolly LLB 3 With Akshay Kumar And Arshad Warsi: Report

Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi are currently shooting for their next film Jolly LLB 3. The film is the third installment of the same series and stars Huma Qureshi and Saurabh Shukla. And now a report is coming in that Amrita Rao has also joined the cast. She will be reprising her Sandhya’s role. Amrita was part of the lead actress in Jolly LLB.

A source close to HT City confirmed,  “Amrita is returning as Arshad’s wife in Jolly LLB 3, continuing their story from the first part. With her entry, it’s a complete unification of Jolly LLB 1 and 2 cast.” In May, Akshay Kumar made the announcement of the film and shared a fun video. It began with Arshad warning everyone to beware of “Jagdish Tyagi aka Jolly BA LLB Duplicate”. Following this, Arshad was seen introducing himself as the “original” Jolly. The video ended with a glimpse of Saurabh Shukla. In the caption of his video, Akshay Kumar wrote, “Ab original kaun aur duplicate kaun, yeh toh pata nahi. But this sure is going to be a jolly good ride !! Stay with us. Jai Mahakaal .”

The first Jolly LLB film was released in 2013. Its sequel hit theatres in 2017. The first film featured Arshad Warsi and Saurabh Shukla in the lead roles. In the sequel, Akshay Kumar replaced Arshad Warsi. He was also joined by Huma Qureshi.

Reportedly, in the third instalment, Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi will be seen at loggerheads whereas, Saurabh Shukla will reprise his role as a judge. “It’s basically Jolly vs. Jolly, and the entire cast is excited to start shooting for this ambitious film for the Jolly LLB franchise. The team is still contemplating two titles titled Jolly LLB 3 or Jolly vs. Jolly, and a call on the same will be taken closer to the announcement,” a source previously told Pinkvilla.

Earlier, in an interview with the Hindustan Times, Arshad explained the reason behind going MIA in Jolly LLB 2. “I have no idea. I have a feeling the makers wanted to upscale the film. I remember I told Subhash (Kapoor, director) also, ‘You should do it with Akshay. If you want to show a crowd in a courtroom, with me it will be 500; with Akshay, you will get 5000′. Somewhere, the production people realized, ‘Let’s get a bigger star’. People liked to see me, so I am back. People will enjoy seeing me and Akshay,” he said.

Jolly LLB 3’s release date has not been announced as of now.
