hit-and-run case

It is a case of reel life borrowing from real, though understandably no one is willing to go on record to admit it. Subhash Kapoor’s <em>Jolly LLB</em> seeks its starting-point from the Alistair Perreira hit-and-run case which hit headlines in 2006. The film in fact opens with a sequence showing a hit-and-run incident whose details seem uncannily similar to the Pereira case. Understandably the film’s director Subhash Kapoor is wary of admitting to real-life resemblances lest the film gets slapped with more litigation alleging the film to be anti-judiciary.
