Akshay Kumar’s ‘Oh My God 2’ was a highly anticipated film of the year that was released on August 11. Akshay Kumar appeared in an extended guest role in the film, while Pankaj Tripathi was featured in the film. The film received rave reviews from the audiences, and it also became a super hit at the box office. Now in an interesting turn of events, the film, OMG 2’s director confirmed that the uncut version will be released on OTT.
The portrayal of Lord Shiva by Akshay Kumar was one of the major issues surrounding ‘OMG 2’ before release. The film deals with the concept of sex education. ‘OMG 2’ had received an ‘A – Adults Only’ certificate from the censor board with 27 cuts. It’s fascinating to note that this is Akshay Kumar’s first film to receive an adult-only certificate in 12 years.
In a recent interview with a news channel, director Amit Rai expressed his disappointment with the A certificate. He mentioned that the film’s uncut version will be released on OTT.
In an interview with a news channel, Amit said, “We were heartbroken because we made the film for everyone to watch, now that cannot happen. We begged them to give us a U/A certificate (children below 12 years of age can watch a film under parental guidance) but they didn’t. We tried to convince them until the very end… But then they walked some distance, we walked some distance. The film has been released with modifications…”
When asked whether the OTT release of OMG 2 will be released without any cuts, Amit added, “We are happy people have loved the film. The intent of the film was pure. Nobody wanted to titillate the audience; hence they liked it. We have dealt with it (the story) in a way that doesn’t sound vulgar. We talk about the reality, but in a sweet and humorous way.”
