Actor Akshay Kumar recently made headlines not just for his upcoming film “Jolly LLB 3,” but for his sharp wit. During the film’s trailer launch event, he playfully dodged a tricky question about a certain city’s habits. It was a moment that got everyone talking.
The star-studded event for “Jolly LLB 3,” which also features Arshad Warsi, took place in Kanpur on Wednesday. This is where the film’s first trailer was shown to the public. While chatting with reporters, Akshay shared a strong message about not using tobacco products.
A Question About Kanpur’s Culture
Akshay plays a lawyer from Kanpur in the new movie. This role led a reporter to ask him if he had noticed the city’s connection to gutkha, a type of chewing tobacco. The question was a bit of a curveball. Akshay’s immediate reply was clear and firm: “Gutkha shouldn’t be consumed.” He didn’t hesitate.
Akshay Kumar’s Quick Thinking Steals the Show
The reporter tried to push further, perhaps hoping to get a more detailed or controversial answer. But Akshay Kumar is known for his quick thinking, and he wasn’t about to get tripped up. With a smile and a lighthearted tone, he quickly turned the tables. He asked, “Is this my interview or yours? I am saying, gutkha shouldn’t be consumed, that’s it.” His clever comeback shut down the line of questioning gracefully, making the crowd chuckle.
About the Film

The story this time focuses on farmers. A powerful man is trying to take their land. Smaller farmers then reach out to Jolly for help.
