OMG 2: CBFC Deems Akshay Kumar Film 'Slightly Controversial,' Possibly Delaying Release
Published On: 25 July 2023 | Bollywood | By: Team Moviekoop
Akshay Kumar is set to once again engage with his audience through the release of the second part of OMG 2, co-starring Pankaj Tripathi. In the film's trailer, Akshay Kumar portrays the character of Lord Shiva. To avoid any controversies and potential debates, the CBFC is being extra cautious in granting clearance for the film.
As per the latest report, the Central Board Of Film Certification (CBFC) perceives OMG 2 as 'slightly controversial.' The film is expected to receive clearance from the censor board within the next two days, after which the promotional campaign will commence, requiring a 10-day duration from trailer launch to release. The team is reportedly feeling anxious about the timeline, and Akshay Kumar is using his contacts to ensure a smooth release.
An informed source suggests that if the filmmakers had chosen to create a film on such a contentious subject, they should have avoided involving religious deities. The COO of Viacom 18, the film's co-producer, refrained from making any comments on the censorial process, stating that they are doing their best and hoping for a favorable outcome.
With only 20 days left until the release date, the team is leaving no stone unturned to generate awareness about the movie and initiate the marketing plan. Earlier this month, the film was referred to the reviewing committee as a preemptive measure.

OMG 2 also features Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam in leading roles and is scheduled to hit theaters on August 11, 2023. It will be competing at the box office with the release of Gadar 2, starring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel.
