Gulshan Devaiah bats for Pankaj Tripathi, wants him to be credited for OMG 2 success

After the film crossed ₹100 crore mark, Gulshan Devaiah reminds everyone that Pankaj Tripathi is the protagonist in OMG 2.

Gulshan Devaiah has championed the cause of crediting the lead man for the success of a movie and insisted that Pankaj Tripathi should be credited for the box-office success of OMG 2. Reminding everyone that Pankaj plays the lead role in the film, Gulshan insisted he must get credit for carrying the film on his shoulders. Gulshan was responding to a news report crediting Akshay Kumar for OMG 2 crossing ₹100 crore. ()

Pankaj is the protagonist

Gulshan Devaiah wants Pankaj Tripathi to be credited for his work.

Quoting a news report talking about the points Akshay Kumar scored with his latest film crossing the ₹100-crore mark, Gulshan wrote on Monday, "How many points Is Pankaj Tripathi getting? He’s the protagonist if I’m not mistaken." One internet user pointed out that this is 16th movie crossing ₹100-crore-mark for Akshay, but only the first one for Pankaj. The actor then responded with: " Sahi hai but PT ka bhi naam aana chahiye na points list mey (That may be fair, but Pankaj Tripathi should also feature in the points list)? "

Pankaj deserves it

After a dull start at the ticket windows on August 11, the collections for OMG 2 grew slowly and the film has crossed ₹100 crore in ten days. Directed by Amit Rai, the film features Pankaj as the lead man - a Shiva devotee fighting for his son's right to sex education while Akshay essays the role of Shiva's messenger who helps him in his endeavours.

Gulshan's recent outing

Gulshan is currently being widely praised for his role as Atmaram in Netflix's new web show Guns & Gulaabs. Helmed by Raj and DK, the show also features Dulquer Salmaan and Rajkummar Rao in lead roles.
