‘ Julie 2 ’, starring Raai Laxmi , was started in July 2015 and the first poster of the film was released on 14th February 2016 followed by a trailer launch on September 4, 2017. Initially, the film was scheduled to arrive in cinemas on 6th October, but soon after its trailer launch, the erotic thriller caught itself in a legal battle which made makers to push its release date to 10th of November. After being postponed two times, the film is finally ready for its theatrical bow on November 24.

Bringing Julie 2 to theaters has been a tough task for its presenter Pahlaj Nihalani and director Deepak Shivdasani as they had fork out a compensatory amount due to the copyright case lodged against the film by producer N.R. Pachisia.

Talking about the whole issue, Nihalani said, "What we gave him was even less than the lawyer's fees. But what Pachisia has taken away is our faith in people from our own fraternity. Pachisia knows what producers have to go through when their films are stalled legally or otherwise at the last moment. He still went ahead and filed a bogus case against our film claiming 'Julie 2' infringed on the copyrights of the film 'Julie' which Pachisia had produced in 2004. We kept shouting and vowing that 'Julie 2' had nothing to do with the film that he had produced," added the former CBFC chief.

"We had to postpone the release thrice. We are now releasing on November 24. But we want action taken against all litigants who try to stop a film's release at the last minute. This is done only to make quick money or to gain instant publicity," he concluded.
