Bombay HC orders deletion of four scenes from Jolly LLB 2

February 06, 2017 18:14

The Aurangabad bench of the Bombay High Court has ordered the deletion of four scenes in Akshay Kumar and Huma Qureshi's upcoming film Jolly LLB 2 - a scene where a scared judge is hiding behind the chair, another where a shoe is hurled, a scene with objectionable signalling and dialogues in an argument scene have to be modified.

The Central Board of Film Certification had already cleared Jolly LLB 2, but will have to reissue the certificate in light of the court order. The Akshay Kumar-starrer got caught up in controversy when Nanded-based advocate Ajaykumar Waghmare filed a petition, saying that the film is "nothing but an attempt to portray the Indian Legal Profession and Judicial System as a laughing stock to the society at large."

The producers are likely to approach the Supreme Court again tomorrow, as the film is due for release this week. The Supreme Court had earlier said that it will let the Bombay High Court decide first and hear the matter only if the need arises.
