Casting

The film was announced in July 2016, where the lead actor Akshay Kumar had revealed his first look for the film.[7] It was reported that Arshad Warsi, who played the lead role in the previous installment, was replaced by Kumar.[8] Actress Huma Qureshi was signed as the female lead, pairing opposite Kumar.[9][10] Annu Kapoor was signed as the antagonist of the film pitted against Kumar.[11]

Criticism

Depiction of Indian judicial system

The film's title and depiction of the Indian legal system created a controversy. Advocate Ajaykumar Waghmare filed a case at the Bombay High Court for removal of the word LLB and stated that the use of the word is a "deliberate attempt" to insult the Indian legal system.[23] The Bombay High Court appointed a 3-member committee to examine the content of the film. The Supreme Court of India also appointed a 3-member panel, consisting of Chief Justice J S Khehar and Justices N V Ramana and D Y Chandrachud, to review the film.[24][25]

Lawsuit from Bata

The film's trailer had shown a derogate reference to Bata Shoes, a shoe brand. The firm Kocchar & Co, on behalf of Bata India, had issued a legal notice to the filmmakers for the comment and filed a lawsuit of ₹3 crore (US$360,000).[26] The CBFC had edited out the reference to the brand with respect to the filed lawsuit.[27]

Kashmir reference

Central Board of Film Censors of Pakistan had objected some scenes related to the terrorism issues in Jammu and Kashmir.[28] The film is banned in Pakistan.[29]
