The much-awaited film ‘OMG 2,’ featuring Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar, is grappling with ongoing troubles as its release date approaches. Reports indicate that the movie’s release date has been extended, but the makers are yet to make an official announcement.
The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has raised concerns, labeling ‘OMG 2’ as controversial and granting it an A certificate. However, the film has not yet received certification from the censor board. The makers are unwilling to compromise on the content and scenes, while the CBFC remains resolute in its stance.
OMG 2 Release Date Extension Raises Uncertainty
One particular hurdle revolves around Akshay Kumar’s role as Lord Shiva in the film. The censor board has expressed reservations about this portrayal and suggested presenting Akshay’s character as God’s messenger instead of Lord Shiva, a suggestion met with resistance from the film’s team.
The conflicting opinions between the censor board and the film’s makers have created confusion and uncertainty over the movie’s release. With an A certificate restricting family and children’s viewership, the film’s release hangs in the balance, and the filmmakers are currently contemplating the best approach.
