Overview

• A Pune civil court issued August 18 summons to director Subhash Kapoor and actors Akshay Kumar and Arshad Warsi after a petition by advocate Wajed Rahim Khan.
• The petition alleges the teaser demeans the legal profession, citing use of the slang term for judges and promotional shots featuring lawyers' bands.
• Hindustan Times, Indian Express and other outlets report an in-person appearance set for October 28, while some reports incorrectly cite August 28 or other dates.
• The summons document reportedly misidentifies Akshay Kumar as “Arun Bhatia,” which the petitioner says will be corrected to his legal name, Rajiv Bhatia.
• No injunction has been reported and the film remains slated for a September 19 theatrical release, with no formal public response from the makers noted in coverage.
