Akshay took to Twitter on Wednesday to share the update. He posted: "Greetings from Huma Qureshi and me this morning straight from Lucknow station. Jolly indeed is having a jolly good time."
Akshay will be seen playing the role of a lawyer in the sequel. The film is slated to release on February 10 next year.
Huma also shared "with the one and only Akshay Kumar on set every moment is a 'jolly' good moment."
The 2013 film, directed by Subhash Kapoor, told the story of Jolly, a struggling lawyer, who comes across a hit-and-run case and decides to fight for the victims.
