Huma Qureshi will reprise her role as Pushpa Pandey, wife of Akshay Kumar’s character Jagdishwar Mishra, in the third instalment titled “Jolly LLB 3.”
This news comes after weeks of speculation about the casting for the film. Previously, both Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi, the stars of the first two films, had begun filming, leaving fans wondering about the inclusion of other characters. Qureshi’s addition completes the core trio, much to the delight of viewers who enjoyed her performance in “Jolly LLB 2.”
A Familiar Face Returns
Huma Qureshi’s portrayal of Pushpa Pandey in “Jolly LLB 2” was well-received by audiences. Her character, a strong and supportive wife navigating the complexities of the legal system alongside her lawyer husband, resonated with many. Her return to the franchise suggests that the upcoming film might delve deeper into the couple’s dynamic and explore the personal side of Jagdishwar Mishra’s legal battles.
“Jolly LLB 3” marks a reunion for Qureshi with both Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi. She previously shared screen space with Akshay Kumar in the 2021 spy thriller “Bell Bottom,” while her pairing with Arshad Warsi goes back to the 2014 crime drama “Dedh Ishqiya.” This familiarity between the actors is expected to translate into on-screen chemistry, further enriching the film’s narrative.
A Returning Director and Continued Success
Subhash Kapoor, who directed the first “Jolly LLB” film, returns to helm “Jolly LLB 3.” His experience with the franchise and his knack for courtroom dramas are sure to be assets to the film. The first two instalments were both critically acclaimed and commercially successful, raising the bar for the upcoming film.
Qureshi’s addition to the cast further strengthens the film’s appeal. The actress has carved a niche in Bollywood, known for her versatility and impactful performances.
With filming already underway, anticipation for “Jolly LLB 3” is steadily building. The return of familiar faces, the promise of a compelling courtroom drama, and the talent associated with the project all point towards a successful outing for the franchise.
