The destiny of Akshay Kumar’s OMG 2, scheduled to launch on August 11, seems to be underneath a cloud. Earlier this month, stories urged that the movie could be subject to extra scrutiny from the Censor Board to forestall backlash of the type directed at Adipurush. Now, evidently the movie could be unable to make its scheduled date of launch. As of Sunday, the trailer of OMG 2 acquired a U/A certification however the movie itself has not been licensed but, sources advised NDTV. OMG 2 stars Akshay Kumar within the position of Lord Shiva and that is reportedly one of many sticking factors. Among the 35 cuts that Censor Board has demanded is that Akshay’s character be modified to a messenger of Lord Shiva quite than the deity himself, in response to sources.

While the producers of OMG 2 are unwilling to chop scenes and can decide to change them as an alternative, it raises the query of whether or not they’ll obtain the U/A certification they’re aiming for even after making the edits requested for. The trailer has been licensed U/A however considerably pointlessly as there is no such thing as a huge launch earlier than August 11 for it to be hooked up to. The trailer wants no certification to be launched on digital platforms and to this point, has not been – a teaser dropped earlier this month.

Soon after the teaser launched, it was reported that the Censor Board had referred OMG 2 to its Revision Committee. Adipurush, a model of the Ramayan starring Prabhas and Kriti Sanon, ended up revising some dialogues after widespread criticism and stories speculated that the Censor Board could be err on the aspect of warning with OMG 2, a satire which locations God entrance and centre as a personality.

OMG 2 co-stars Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam and is a non secular sequel to OMG wherein Akshay Kumar performed Lord Krishna. If it releases on August 11 as deliberate, it can conflict with Gadar 2, starring Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel.
