Yesterday, we reported that the makers of the upcoming Boman Irani, Arshad Warsi starrer Jolly Llb had been served a legal notice by a Meerut based lawyer. Today we hear that the makers have received two more notices. Apparently, one of the notices is from Manjit Singh Jolly, who has demanded a change in the name of the film because he says people are ridiculing him. While the second notice is from a Delhi- based law firm Sc Gupta and Ankkit, that has raised an objection to the fact that Arshad Warsi, who in the film misspells appeal for apple and prosecution for prostitution in his pleadings to the Court and that referring to the Meerut University as his alma mater, is derogatory to the institution.

Fox Star Studio's film Jolly Llb directed by Subhash Kapoor featuring Arshad Warsi and Boman Irani has run into legal trouble. The makers of the film have been served with a legal notice by an advocate in Meerut who claims that the promos of Jolly Llb on air currently are showing lawyers in Meerut in a poor light and are defamatory.
The advocate, Dr. Parag Garg is now demanding that Fox Star Studios remove the trailers from broadcast. The film which is based on a fictional story about a Meerut lawyer is supposed to be a satirical take on the legal system and is slated for a March 15 release.
Confirming the news, Vijay Singh, CEO, Fox Star Studios, says that they have since received the legal notice and their legal team is looking into the matter, so no comments will be made at this stage.
