Akshay’s Next Censor: National Anthem Controversy?

Jolly LLB 3 is scheduled to arrive in theatres soon, and some viral photos are now creating excitement among the audience. These images have stirred discussions around potential censorship by the CBFC, with many fans curious about what might get cut or modified.

While the CBFC or the producers have not issued any statement yet, the photos show frames titled Jolly LLB 3: National Anthem, followed by slides reading Feature Presentation and Intermission. Below each photo appears the name JioStar India Pvt. Ltd., indicating the film’s production backing.

The much-anticipated legal drama will release on September 19 this year. It marks the return of Akshay Kumar and Huma Qureshi in leading roles, alongside Arshad Warsi and Amrita Rao from the first film. However, detailed plot information has not yet been revealed.

This film also becomes Akshay’s third sequel of the year after Housefull 5 and marks his second legal drama following Kesari Chapter 2. Jolly LLB 3 will feature actors like Saurabh Shukla and Annu Kapoor once again, under the direction of Subhash Kapoor, who directed the previous installments.

Even without a teaser or trailer, anticipation is building as audiences wonder what courtroom twists the new film might deliver. However, concerns around its commercial performance remain, especially due to Akshay’s recent box office history.

Although several Akshay Kumar films this year crossed Rs. 100 crore, they reportedly did not recover their total investment. Even if Jolly LLB 3 receives a positive response, doubts remain about whether large audiences will flock to theatres.

Despite that, hopes remain high that the film’s franchise value could drive success. With just weeks left before release, fans eagerly await the teaser or trailer drop to get a better sense of what’s in store.
