OMG 2: Did you know Akshay Kumar wrote the script while in the ICU fighting COVID-19?
In the upcoming social drama OMG 2, starring Pankaj Tripathi, Akshay Kumar reprises his role as the Almighty.
The recently released trailer for Oh My God 2 aka OMG 2 has piqued fans' interest in the sequel. While the previous film was centred on a heated argument about the business of religion and calling into question the belief in religious organisations and self-proclaimed godmen, this one is set to tackle a different topic. While fans are excited to see Akshay Kumar reprise his role as the Almighty, did you know that the script was cleared while the actor was hospitalised?
According to a source close to the actor, Akshay Kumar was battling COVID-19 when he was offered the script. According to the source, "the final script of OMG 2 was locked when Akshay Kumar was hospitalised. It all happened when AK was down with COVID and it was severe. To ensure the safety of his family, he had silently checked himself into a hospital in Mumbai. From that room when he was on the hospital bed, AK was having the final discussions on the script via video calls. It was there that the final script of OMG2 was locked."
In terms of OMG 2, Pankaj Tripathi plays the protagonist who fights against the system, while Yami Gautam plays the opposing counsel. The film stars Akshay Kumar as the Lord, who will play Lord Shiva this time around, as opposed to Kanhaiya aka Lord Krishna in the prequel.
The film, directed by Amit Rai, also stars Arun Govil, Govind Namdev, Pawan Malhotra, and Brijendra Kalra in supporting parts, and is set to be released on August 11. The release of the film is expected to coincide with the release of Gadar 2, starring Utkarsh Sharma, Sunny Deol, and Ameesha Patel.

BREAKING: OMG Oh My God 2 is Akshay Kumar's FIRST film in 12 years to receive a CBFC 'A' certificate.
One of the first publications to indicate that OMG Oh My God 2 had problems with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) was Bollywood Hungama.. After screening the movie, the Examining Committee (EC) referred the Akshay Kumar starrer to the Revising Committee (RC) since the latter didn't want to take any chances given that the movie had a religious theme. CBFC head Prasoon Joshi watched the movie on July 17, and the RC then attended a screening of it.
After watching the movie, even the RC had the chills. They concurred that the video delicately addresses the problem of sex education, but they were more hesitant after the Adipurush incident. Additionally, the controversy surrounding Oppenheimer's Bhagavad Gita sequence heightened their anxieties. In both cases, concerns were expressed about how the CBFC approved the scenes that offended religious sensibilities.
However, Bollywood Hungama has learned that the censor issues for OMG Oh My God 2 have been resolved. 'The film has been passed by the CBFC but with an 'A' certificate,' a source told Bollywood Hungama. The film's creators did their utmost to obtain a U/A rating since they think that young people should view it for its message. That, though, would have required a number of cuts. OMG Oh My God 2 reportedly received an "A" certificate with some audio edits. If the reports are to be believed, there hasn't been a visible cut.
Yesterday, July 31, OMG Oh My God received a censor certificate after the cuts were approved. According to the certificate, the movie has a running time of 2 hours, 36 minutes.
It's significant to note that OMG Oh My God 2 will be Akshay Kumar's first movie in 12 years to receive an adults-only rating. (2011)'s Desi Boyz was Akshay's most recent "A" movie.
Now, it is anticipated that the film's advertising campaign would launch right away. The insider concluded by noting, "Had the CBFC not cleared the picture on time, there was a chance that the release would have been delayed. It will be released on August 11 as anticipated now that it is finished.
OMG Oh My God 2 also stars Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam in addition to Akshay Kumar.

truly the most egregious part of the 2012 Les Mis is that they changed Valjean’s line from
“It’s the story of those who always loved you, your mother gave her life for you then gave you to my keeping.”
to
“it’s the story, of one who turned from hating. The man who only learned to love when you were in his keeping.”
LIKE?????!! How dare they remove Valjean specifically mentioning Fantine’s sacrifice and putting that before he mentions his own part in the story?? How dare they make Valjean imply that it was only when Cosette came into his keeping that he stopped hating everything and learned to love WHEN THE FUCKING BISHOP IS THE REASON FOR THE GODDAMN SEASON????
Like OF COURSE Cosette softened Valjean, of course he became a better man when he became her father, of course their relationship is important.
But this story would not have happened without the love of the bishop and it was his love that rekindled the love that was dormant in Valjean’s heart. And it was Fantine that fanned that flame, then Cosette’s that kept it steady.
I just hate how flat it makes Valjean’s story seem. “It’s the story, of those who always loved you.” Is THE answer Cosette has been searching for her whole life. I wish they’d kept it in instead of feeling like the audience would only feel fulfilled by Valjean’s story if he only mentioned his direct relationship to Cosette.
Whatever idk. It’s a good Les Mis for a lot of reasons, but a bad one for a lot of reasons too 🥲
