Having wrapped up Welcome 3 schedule, Akshay kicks off Jolly LLB 3 in Rajasthan; project marks second of his four comedies this year
Arshad Warsi, Huma Qureshi and Akshay Kumar
It’s raining sequels for Akshay Kumar. He recently shot the Mumbai schedule of Welcome to the Jungle. Now, the superstar has stepped into the world of Jolly LLB 3, seven years after headlining its second instalment. While Arshad Warsi, who portrayed Jagdish Tyagi in the first edition, kicked off the courtroom comedy in Rajasthan over the weekend (Jolly face-off begins, April 29), we hear Kumar joined the shoot a few days later.
It is known that Kumar’s Jagdishwar Mishra and Warsi’s character will be seen as rivals in Subhash Kapoor’s directorial venture. “The first schedule will be 15-20 days long. Huma Qureshi is reprising her role of Akshay’s wife. She was filming Gulabi in Ahmedabad until last week, and joined this project soon after,” says a source close to the development.

After the big-scale action fare, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan, Kumar seems to be in the mood for laugh riots. Besides Welcome to the Jungle and Jolly LLB 3, the actor is set to reunite with Priyadarshan 14 years after their last collaboration, Khatta Meetha (2010). This time around, the actor-director duo are tackling a horror comedy. An insider says, “The film will explore one of the oldest superstitions in India. It’s an idea that has Akshay quite excited.” The superstar will round off his comedy line-up with Mudassar Aziz’s Khel Khel Mein that also stars Taapsee Pannu and Lara Dutta.
