The Verdict is Out: 'Jolly LLB 3' trailer launch finalises a venue(s)

What started as a lighthearted duel between Akshay Kumar’s Jolly Mishra and Arshad Warsi’s Jolly Tyagi quickly turned into a nationwide talking point. The two actors sparked city pride in Kanpur and Meerut, challenging each other over where the trailer of Jolly LLB 3 should debut.

The friendly courtroom rivalry spilled over to the streets, with locals in both cities staging large-scale displays of support. From organised bike processions to food giveaways, the run-up to the announcement became nothing short of a festival.

Kanpur vs Meerut Becomes a Fan Movement

In Kanpur, supporters rallied with chants, drums, and processions. At the same time, Meerut residents built their own wave of enthusiasm with mass gatherings and creative campaigns. Social media amplified the frenzy, as clips of the two “Jollys” trading blows in mock legal sparring added fuel to the fire.

The energy captured attention beyond Uttar Pradesh, with fans across the country weighing in online. By the time the decision day arrived, anticipation for the trailer had grown far beyond a simple location reveal.

The Verdict Unites Both Cities

In a surprising turn, Judge Tripathi in the campaign narrative declared both Kanpur and Meerut winners. The trailer for Jolly LLB 3 will now premiere simultaneously in both cities on September 10. The announcement also came with a cheeky directive: the two Jollys must set aside their courtroom rivalry and embrace before the case can be considered closed.

With the verdict, the film has turned a promotional stunt into a spectacle that doubled the excitement. The move promises to boost anticipation ahead of the nationwide trailer release and the film’s theatrical arrival on September 19.

Directed by Subhash Kapoor and backed by Star Studio18, Jolly LLB 3 brings Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi together for the first time in the franchise, joined by Huma Qureshi, Amrita Rao, and Saurabh Shukla. The film positions itself as not just another courtroom comedy but also a face-off between two of Hindi cinema’s most watchable performers.
