Premise

OMG 2 is the story of Kanti Sharan Mudgal, a staunch devotee of Lord Shiva; a simple man, a loving father and a caring husband. One day his son, Vivek, is blamed for immoral conduct and thrown out of school. Upon confrontation, Kanti realises that his son has been a victim of misinformation and misguidance. Grief-struck and unable to handle the crisis, Kanti decides to leave the town with his family, until... he has a divine intervention that steers him towards truth. Kanti then decides to take on everyone responsible by dragging them to court.

Development and casting

The film was initially rumoured to be in making in January 2021 with Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal returning as leads post the first part, but Rawal denied the reports.[7] In June 2021, the sequel to OMG was finally confirmed with a new storyline starring Kumar.[8][9] Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam were roped in as new additions that same month, while Arun Govil joined the cast in November 2021 as Principal.[10]

Filming

Tripathi began the first schedule of the film on 2 September 2021 in Mumbai.[11] Akshay Kumar joined the sets in second schedule on 23 October 2021.[12][13] The third schedule of the film commenced in December 2021.[14]

Marketing

The first look of the poster of the film featuring Akshay Kumar as Lord Shiva was launched in October 2021.[17] The teaser of the film was released on 11 July 2023.[18] The official trailer of the film was released on 3 August 2023.[19]

Controversy

The Central Board Of Film Certification advised 20 cuts in the film's screenplay and an (A) (Adults Only) certificate, as they deemed the film's subject matter, which deals with sex education in schools, along with God and religion, to be controversial and could possibly hurt the sentiments of the audience. It was also suggested that Kumar's character in the film, which was initially supposed to be that of Lord Shiva, to be changed to that of a "Messenger of God". The makers felt that this would spoil the essence of the film and limit its appeal and insisted on receiving an (U/A) (Unrestricted public exhibition subject to parental guidance for children below the age of twelve) certificate. The film was eventually passed by the Censor Board with an (A) (Adults Only) certificate with no cuts but with 25 modifications.[20][21][22][23][24]

Release

The film is scheduled to be released on 11 August 2023.[5]
