About OMG 2

OMG 2 is written and helmed by Amit Rai and it serves as a spiritual sequel to the 2012 film OMG - Oh My God! The film stars Akshay Kumar as a messenger of Shiva while Pankaj Tripathi plays a shop owner and Yami Gautam plays the opposition lawyer. The film also stars Govind Namdev, Pavan Malhotra, and Arun Govil in supporting roles. It deals with the topic of sex education in India and as a result, it met with censorship troubles before the release. The Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) performed multiple cuts and modifications to the story and gave it an A (adult) certificate. The character of Kumar was originally Lord Shiva, which was changed to Shiva's messenger. OMG 2 was finally released on August 11 alongside Sunny Deol's Gadar 2.

Meanwhile, Yami will be next seen in the comedy film Dhoom Dhaam alongside Pratik Gandhi.
