Akshay Kumar's Oh My God 2 sent to Censor board's revision committee for re-evaluation of dialogues, scenes
OMG 2 posters
India's Central Board of Film Certification is reassessing dialogues and scenes of the upcoming film Oh My God 2 (OMG 2) to avoid Adipurush-like backlash. OMG 2 stars Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam in the lead and is a sequel of 2021 film OMG-Oh My God.
As per a report, the board's revising committee seeks to ensure that the dialogues and scenes in OMG 2 ‘do not create any issues’.
While there is no clarity on which dialogues and scenes are being scrutinised, it is believed that CBFC's revision committee is being extra cautious to avoid any kind of controversy around film, especially after the backlash over Adipurush.
Once the film goes to the revision committee, the CBFC will reportedly take a decision on the movie, which is set to be released in theatres on August 11.
Oh My God 2 dialogues to be checked by CBFC
As per sources quoted in a recent report by India Today, “CBFC does not want to repeat the backlash that Adipurush faced over its dialogues” and it will take a decision on OMG 2 after the board's revising committee “looks over at the dialogues and scenes in the film”.
According to sources, CBFC has decided to take "preemptive measures” to avoid any backlash over Oh My God 2 dialogues and scenes.
“CBFC will send any movie dealing with subjects like God or religion for review and revision," added the source.
Adipurush controversy
Om Raut's Adipurush courted several controversies ever since it was released last month. The film stars Prabhas as Raghava, Kriti as Janaki, Sunny Singh as Laxman, and Saif Ali Khan as Lankesh.
The film faced criticism over its dialogues, costumes, and graphics. Since its release, there have also been sporadic protests against Adipurush, with many raising objections over the depiction of its characters claiming it hurt the sentiments of people, who have grown up watching the Doordarshan show Ramayan.
