In the clip, Akshay and Arshad were seen dressed in black robes. It began with Arshad warning everyone to beware of “Jagdish Tyagi aka Jolly BA LLB Duplicate”. Following this, Akshay 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 .” Watch it here:

Soon after the video was shared, Tabu reacted to it and expressed that she “cannot wait” for the film. Fans also expressed their excitement for the film. “OMG This is gonna be so fun!!!!! ❤️,” one of the users wrote. “All the best sir,” added another.

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.
