The source said, "Subhash Kapoor, Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi have been toying with the idea of Jolly LLB 3 for a while now and the things have fallen in place. Subhash has cracked a subject that warrants a face off between the two Jollys. It’s hilarious with a very relevant topic for debate in the court of law."

"The idea is to create the ambience of a big screen courtroom drama and hence, efforts have been taken to make it a multi-genre film, with the right blend of humour with drama and thrill. 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 floors in the first half of 2023," the statement continued.

The Jolly LLB franchise revolves around the lawyer Jolly striving hard to win a case and bring justice for his clients. While the first instalment was a sleeper hit, the second one even hit the Rs 100-crore club.
