One may have thought that after getting a clean chit from Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), Akshay Kumar’s Jolly LLB 2 will be released without any problems. But, it seems like the issues with the film are not ending anytime soon.
A month ago, a shoe manufacturer Bata had sued the makers and actors Akshay Kumar and Annu Kapoor for using the brand name and projecting it in the bad light.

V M Kanade and Sangita Rao Patil, justices of the bench, ordered the makers to organise a special screening of the film. Two lawyers named R N Dhorde and V J Dixit will now be watching the film on Wednesday (February 1) and have been asked to submit their reports on Friday (Febraury 3) to the Bombay High Court. Once the reports have reached the High Court and will be reviewed, the petition would be up for hearing.
Directed by Subhash Kapoor, Jolly LLB 2 is a satirical courtroom drama starring Akshay Kumar, Annu Kapoor and Huma Qureshi and is slated to release on February 10,
