Akshay Kumar’s highly anticipated film, ‘OMG 2’, has hit a significant stumbling block due to censorship issues with the Indian censor board. Following a screening, the Examining Committee has advised the film’s producers to refer it to the Revision Committee, resulting in a delay in its release. Despite generating excitement among fans, the film’s teaser is yet to receive official approval from the censor board.
In a surprising development, the Indian censor board has temporarily halted the release of Akshay Kumar’s religious film, ‘Oh My God 2’. The specific reasons behind this decision have not been disclosed, leading to speculation among fans and industry insiders regarding the nature of the concerns raised by the censor board.
‘OMG 2’ has been one of the most eagerly anticipated films of recent times, building on the success of its predecessor, ‘Oh My God’. The sequel sees Akshay Kumar stepping into the role of Lord Shiva, marking a departure from his portrayal of Shri Krishna in the first installment. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the film, hoping it will deliver the same success and thought-provoking themes that made the original a hit.
Confirming the setback, B.N. Tiwari, President of the Federation of Western India Cine Employees (FWICE), revealed that the censor board has placed ‘OMG 2’ on hold, subjecting it to review by the committee. Additionally, the release of the film’s teaser, featuring Akshay Kumar, Yami Gautam, and Pankaj Tripathi, has been temporarily suspended. The censor board’s decision has raised concerns among filmmakers and fans alike, who eagerly await further updates on the film’s release.
The recently unveiled teaser of ‘OMG 2’ provided audiences with a tantalizing glimpse into the film’s captivating world, introducing pivotal characters such as Akshay Kumar as Lord Shiva and Pankaj Tripathi as a devoted believer. Directed by Amit Rai, the film also stars Arun Govil and Govind Namdev. Notably, Pankaj Tripathi steps into a prominent role previously portrayed by Paresh Rawal alongside Akshay Kumar in the first installment. With the clash at the box office on August 11 between ‘OMG 2’ and Sunny Deol’s ‘Gadar 2’, the anticipation surrounding the fate of the film has further intensified.
As the fate of Akshay Kumar’s ‘OMG 2’ hangs in the balance, fans and industry insiders anxiously await updates on the film’s clearance from the revision committee. With both ‘OMG 2’ and ‘Gadar 2’ competing for success at the box office, the stakes are high. The coming days will shed light on the future of ‘OMG 2’ and whether it can overcome its censorship challenges to captivate audiences with its compelling storyline and performances.
