Akshay Kumar's OMG 2 is raking in great numbers despite the controversial start. Before its release, Amit Rai's OMG 2 made headlines when the film got an ‘A' or 'Adults Only’ certificate from the censor board with several modifications and cuts that the board found controversial.&nbsp;

Two weeks after the release, director Amit Rai reacted to the Board's decision to pass the film with several cuts and an 'A' certificate.&nbsp;

In a new interview with PTI, Rai said that he was left heartbroken when the film was passed with the 'A' certificate.&nbsp;

"We were heartbroken because we made the film for everyone to watch, now that cannot happen. We begged them to give us a U/A certificate (children below 12 years of age can watch a film under parental guidance) but they didn't. We tried to convince them till the very end... But then they walked some distance, we walked some distance. The film has been released with modifications..." he said.

Further talking, Rai said that the film will be released on the OTT platform without any cuts.&nbsp;

He said: "We are happy people have loved the film. The intent of the film was pure. Nobody wanted to titillate the audience, hence they liked it. We have dealt with it (the story) in a way that doesn't sound vulgar. We talk about the reality, but in a sweet and humorous way."

CBFC passed the film with around 20 cuts and even asked to change Akshay's character from Lord Shiva to his messenger.

“After all the discussions, the film has been passed without any cuts. There are some scenes, dialogues and characters which have been modified by the makers after discussion with the censor board members,” a source told back then.&nbsp;

OMG 2 is a sequel to the 2012 film OMG which also starred Akshay Kumar in the lead. In the first, he played the role of Lord Krishna, who lands on earth to save his devotee Paresh Rawal.

There is no confirmation when the OMG 2 will be released on the OTT platform.&nbsp;

OMG 2 opened with a great response from the critics and audience alike. In two weeks, the film has earned&nbsp;Rs 123.73 crore, as per industry tracker Sacnilk.&nbsp;

Written and directed by Amit Rai, OMG 2, which revolves around sex education in India, features Akshay as Lord Shiva's messenger, who has been sent to help his true devotee Kanti Sharan Mudgal, played by Pankaj Tripathi, from a big crisis that is about to come in his life. The movie also features Yami as a lawyer.&nbsp;

WION's review of OMG 2 
 
Kshitij Mohan Rawat wrote in his review of the movie: OMG 2 is a lot of fun. It manages to strike a nice and delicate balance between dealing with a serious issue (sex education) and delivering moments of genuine laughter and heartfelt emotions.

Pankaj Tripathi is reliably excellent, and so is Kumar (this might be a radical idea, but he should do more comedy again), but the film is peppered with a number of outstanding character actors in supporting roles. Pavan Malhotra shines as Judge Purushottam Nagar presiding over the case. Initially sceptical and even unfriendly towards Kanti, he learns to respect the determination of the man. His struggles with Kanti's "shuddh", or pure, Hindi are played for some nice humour as his assistant tries to explain what the man is saying non-verbally. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/bollywood/news-omg-2-review-pankaj-tripathi-akshay-kumar-deliver-laughs-with-a-purposeful-punch-624517">Read the full review here: &nbsp;</a>

The uncut version of OMG 2 will be released on OTT, says director Amit Rai

Indian actor Govind Namdev has slammed the Central Board of Film Certification for giving OMG 2 an 'A' or Adult certification. Namdev plays a priest in the new film that is being headlined by Pankaj Tripathi and Akshay Kumar and also stars Yami Gautam.&nbsp; 
 
Namdev took to Facebook to urge CBFC to reconsider its decision of assigning 'A' certificate to the film which is primarily targeted toward teenagers.&nbsp;

<h2>Govind Namdev's Facebook post&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>

Govind Namdev reprises his role of a priest in OMG 2&nbsp;– a sequel to OMG: Oh My God. Namdev took to Facebook and wrote a long note on the film's struggle to get a U/A certification from CBFC. He wrote, "OMG, O MY GOD is released finally with 24 Censor cuts and senseless A certificate so that teenagers should not see the movie for whom the movie is made, And Censor has passed it!”

Govind then compared OMG 2's struggle with CBFC to that of Adipurush. Om Raut's interpretation of the Ramayana was released in June and featured Prabhas, Saif Ali Khan and Kriti Sanon. The film was widely panned for its colloquial and derogatory dialogues that were later corrected by the makers following backlash. The makers also had to issue an apology to enraged fans who stated that the film hurt their religious sentiments.&nbsp;

“Jo dimaag censor board ko Adipurush jaisi behuda film mein lagana chahiye tha wo unhone ‘Oh My God” jaisi thoughtful aur progressive film ko kaatne kootne mein kharch kar diya! Waah (CBFC should've applied some brain while assessing a pathetic film like Adipurush. But instead, they diverted all their brains in chopping a thoughtful and progressive film like OMG 2)," Govind further wrote in the Facebook post.

Namdev requested CBFC to reconsider its decision since OMG 2, based on the taboo subject of sex education, is a film made for and targeted towards teenagers. “It will be a wise step if Censor rectifies its mistake and give at least UA certificate to let a positive revolution set in for the betterment of our society’s teenagers' upbringing," he wrote.

Akshay Kumar starrer OMG 2 was released with Gadar 2 on 11 August. The film received mostly positive reviews from critics. WION's Kshitij Rawat wrote in his review, "OMG 2 is a lot of fun. It manages to strike a nice and delicate balance between dealing with a serious issue (sex education) and delivering moments of genuine laughter and heartfelt emotions."'
