Akshay Kumar’s courtroom black comedy-drama, ‘Jolly LLB 2’, is all set to hit the theaters tomorrow. The film marks the second installment of a franchise that began with ‘Jolly LLB’ in 2013, and starred Arshad Warsi and Boman Irani.

Talking about the film, Akshay recently said, “I have seen the first film. I saw it at its premiere. I loved that film and it deserved everything from a National Award to all others. I liked the concept and script of the film. I liked the dialogues. I had never played the role of a lawyer. So, that is what got me into this film.”

Akshay, who enjoys doing action films, said that ‘Jolly LLB 2’ too has action but with a twist. “'Jolly LLB 2' has verbal action. In this film, the action takes place inside the court. This film has word wars," said Akshay.

Talking further about the issues the film deals with, Akshay said, "There is a very serious topic that 'Jolly LLB 2' talks about, which is that everything is not fair in love and war. Otherwise, we have always heard that everything is fair in love and war.”

He continued, "So, I have proved that line as wrong in this film. Personally too, I don't believe in it. So, this film should be watched by youngsters."

“The target audience for this film is mainly youth. Also, this film is for both - the masses and the classes," concluded Akshay.
