Presented by Viacom18 Studios, "OMG 2" is produced by Cape of Good Films and Wakaoo. It touches upon various issues of teenagers and the importance of sex education. The film is a spiritual sequel of "OMG - Oh My God!", starring Kumar and Paresh Rawal, which was released in 2012.
In the film, Akshay Kumar plays the role of Bholenath's messenger, Pankaj Tripathi plays the role of Lord Shiva devotee named Kanti Sharan Mudgal while Yami Gautam too plays a pivotal role in the film.
Prior to the release, several reports had claimed that the film was put on hold by the censor board as the committee wanted to be extra cautious due to the film's religious theme. But later, the film was passed by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and was given an ‘A’ (Adults Only) certificate. However after the film was released, several cinema-goers said the film deserves U/A certificate.
Meanwhile, the Producers Guild of India and the Multiplex Association of India (MAI) said that the weekend of August 11-13 marked a triumphant return to the big screens. The combined Box Office across India stood at over ₹390 crore for the weekend which was highest number in the history of Indian cinema, spanning more than 100 years.
