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.
