The subsequent film, OMG 2, features Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi, and Yami Gautam. The upcoming movie is the follow-up to 2012’s Oh My God, which stars Akshay and Paresh Rawal. The sequel instalment holds considerable anticipation, and the first-look teasers have piqued the audience’s Akshay and the whole cast appeared on the internet a while ago to make public the unveiling date of the much-anticipated trailer.

At the start of the film, the protagonist states, “Humans give proof of God’s existence by being an atheist or a believer. But God never discriminates among the people he created.”

The movie trailer depicts Akshay Kumar as Lord Shiva’s manifestation or avatar, who has arrived on the planet to assert his follower Kanti Sharan Mudgal, represented by Pankaj Tripathi, regardless of hazards in his life. Kumar speculated on Twitter after sharing the film’s trailer, “Have faith.”

The initial trailer for Akshay Kumar’s OMG 2

Akshay published a clip of himself dressed as Lord Shiva. The actor is viewed donning a black ensemble with his lengthy locks, kohled eyes, and charcoal spread on his brow. In the film, Akshay’s demeanour is intense and intriguing. In the video footage, he is seen wandering while the crowd chants his name in the foreground. The song ‘Har Har Mahadev’ is even playing in the background. Akshay tweeted the video, “11.07.2023. #OMG2Teaser out on July 11. #OMG2 in theatres on August 11.”

About Oh My God, Part 1

In a God-fearing community like India, an opus like OMG, Oh My God, which bravely and wholeheartedly points straight at the ubiquitous commercialization of sacred practises, is an ambitious endeavour. Oh My God should not be misconstrued as an atheist-supporting film. Instead, it calls into question naive trust.

Kanjibhai (Paresh Rawal) earns a living by marketing God icons, yet he is a staunch atheist. When his store is destroyed in a natural disaster, the insurance organisation refuses his claim because the occurrence was an act of God, which is not covered by their policy. Kanjibhai, enraged, petitions the court of justice for restitution from God. Because God does not have an address, he summons religious leaders (led by Mithun Chakravarthy), claiming that they represent God on earth and hence should pay him for his loss.

What appears to be a ridiculous petition becomes sophisticated tribunal storytelling, and Lord Krishna (Akshay Kumar) himself adopts a fleshly appearance and comes down to this planet to aid Kanjibhai in his struggle with divinity.

The brilliance that writer-director Umesh Shukla brings to the story is that he never accuses God of any wrongdoing (that would be blasphemy). Humans and their innate greed are proven to be the main source of strife here. As a result, religious leaders are prosecuted, and their blind followers are mainly targeted.

In a very religious country, this film dares to publicly criticise religious practices such as pouring milk on idols in temples, presenting sheets of flowers in mosques, and lighting candles outside churches as moneymaking gimmicks developed in the name of God. The video correctly points out how followers would make divine offerings without hesitation but would rarely contemplate charity for the impoverished.

Oh My God is a documentary that analyses the bad parts of religious traditions, such as idol worship and revenue-generating tactics. Akshay Kumar’s film focuses on God’s ideals and his existence in flesh and blood. Kanjibhai, the central character, is a fervent, pious guy who believes in God yet still approves of the Almighty. The film emphasises devotion that is ‘God-loving’ rather than ‘God-fearing,’ transcending cinematic bounds and maybe reevaluating one’s religious practises and spiritual ideas. The film’s culmination is a contemplative and compelling debate in which Kanjibhai claims that religion makes people susceptible to becoming terrorists, and Krishna enlightens him on the effects of losing an individual’s belief in God.

The Gujarati drama ‘Kanji Virrudh Kanji’ inspired the film’s sensibility and intellect. Oh My God is an enjoyable and enlightening picture because Akshay Kumar’s argument against idol worship is a moral, scientific lesson that doesn’t seem preachy.

It’s launching alongside Gadar 2 in theatres

It will be competing with Sunny Deol and Ameesha Patel’s Gadar 2. Both of the movies will be released on August 11.

An inkling of Mission Impossible 

that the OMG 2 trailer would be linked to Tom Cruise’s Mission Impossible 7 in India beginning July 12. According to the source, the preview is rated ‘U’ and has a duration of 1 minute, 34 seconds. The film is currently billed as a hard-hitting social satire. Amit Rai directed and wrote the sequel to OMG.
