About OMG 2

Starring Akshay Kumar as a messenger of Lord Shiva, Pankaj Tripathi as a devotee of Lord Shiva, Kanti Sharan Mudgal, and Yami Gautam as a lawyer, the film revolves around a middle-class father raising awareness about a sensitive yet crucial topic. OMG 2 highlights the importance of sex education, while calling out prevailing misinformation.

However, the makers faced several setbacks while releasing the film, which was later given an ‘A’ certificate by the Central Board of Film Certification. OMG 2 was released on August 11.

In a recent interview with ANI, Amit Rai opened up about how Akshay was deeply involved in the making of film and how his advice helped avoid criticism over a few scenes. He said, "From narrating the script to other actors in an entertaining way to remembering all the scenes by hearing it, Akshay sir was deeply involved in the making of 'OMG 2' as an actor and a producer. He worked more like a creative producer. He even improvised several scenes in the film. He gave inputs on how to tweak some scenes in order to avoid criticism. The masturbation scene, for example, he asked me to shoot it properly and said, 'We will see about it later'. I am very open in how I want to tell my stories."

OMG 2 also features Arun Govil, Govind Namdev, Aamir Naik, Fahim Fazli and Parth Siddhpura, among others. The film is produced by Viacom 18 Studios, Wakaoo Films, and Cape Of Good Films.
