“Don’t Show Akshay As God”…Cutting Through The Rubbish, Here Is Why OMG2 Is Unlikely To Release On Time

As  the  date of release for director Amrit Rai’s OMG2  closes in,  it is becoming progressively clear  that  the  film  won’t be able to make it on its release date on August 11.And never mind  PR pieces telling the world that the release won’t be delayed.

While the theme (of teenage masturbation) has itself raised multiple censorial objections, another  huge problem now looms over the doomed film. And it is this: the Central Board Of Film Certification CBFC)   has asked  Akshay’s character to be  changed from Lord Shiva to a  doot(messenger) of Lord Shiva.

“This means  the producers would actually have to change or delete several sequences where Akshay is shown assuming the  blue skin complexion  of Lord  Shiva…Remove  them  or change  the  colour digitally. Either way  it is  going to take extra  time  and funds,” says a source in the know.

So the August 11 releases seems  a distant dream at  the  moment.
