Akshay Kumar will be seen playing the role of a lawyer in the sequel to the 2013 popular courtroom comedy drama "Jolly LLB". The actor took to Twitter to share his look which has a traditional touch to it.

After a teaser via a caricature, the actor revealed his look on Monday. In the image, Akshay seems to be in a pensive mood.

He tweeted: "New day with a new look for a new film, let the mayhem begin! 'Jolly LLB 2' it is! Judgement day 10th February, 2017."

Akshay is seen wearing a lawyer's outfit, and is sporting a moustache with a red vermilion (tika) on his forehead.

The sequel will reportedly be shot in Lucknow and Varanasi.

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.
