<p>Akshay Kumar's <em>OMG 2 </em>has&nbsp;emerged as a winner at the box office. Despite the tough competition from Sunny Deol's <em>Gadar 2 </em>and Rajinikanth's <em>Jailer</em>, the film continues to earn good numbers at the box office and is now inching towards the Rs 100 crore mark (Rs 1 billion).</p>

<p>Amid this, a lot of rumours have started doing the rounds related to the movie's budget, which many claimed was around Rs 150 crore. However, producer Ajit&nbsp;Andhare has come forward to put a stop to all that.</p>

<p>Ajit, COO of Viacom 18, told Pinkvilla website that Akshay Kumar did not charge a single penny for the film.</p>

<p>''The reports of the budget of <em>OMG2</em> are grossly exaggerated. On the contrary, Akshay didn’t charge a rupee in fee and in fact, walked alongside us in both the financial and&nbsp;creative risk involved in such a courageous film.''</p>

<p>He shared, ''We share a long history &amp; understanding with him as a Studio since <em>OMG1</em>, <em>Special 26</em>, and <em>Toilet: Ek Prem Katha </em>and I have been totally in lockstep with him in taking up scripts that are unconventional but stand for something larger &amp; meaningful. Without him this risk was impossible to take, he was fully invested both creatively &amp; financially.”</p>

<p>A source has revealed to Pinkvilla that the budget of the <em>OMG 2 </em>is around Rs 50 crore (Rs 500 Million).</p>

<p>“<em>OMG 2</em> has been shot in a controlled environment, much like most of the social dramedies made in the Hindi film industry. The cost of production is a little under Rs 50 crore. For those unaware, even <em>OMG </em>(2012) was made on a controlled cost of Rs 25 crore only,” a source told Pinkvilla.</p>

<p>The film, which is a sequel to the superhit 2012 film <em>OMG</em>, is directed by Amit Rai. The movie has been performing exceptionally well since day one and is now inching towards the much-coveted Rs 100 crore club.</p>

<p>As of now, the film stands at Rs. 84.72 at the box office.</p>

Did you know Akshay Kumar didn’t charge a penny for OMG 2?

<p><br />
The makers of OMG 2, starring Akshay Kumar and Pankaj Tripathi, have released the first song from the film. Sung by Hansraj Raghuwanshi, Oonchi Oonchi Waadi shows Tripathi as a devotee and Akshay in the avatar of the Hindu god, Shiva. Oonchi Oonchi Waadi is written by Kabeer Shukla and Hansraj Raghuwanshi. Raahi and Raghuwanshi composed the song. Recently, the teaser of Oh My God 2 was released, and it received a thumbs-up from the audience. However, in a few hours, a rumour started floating that the film was based on a person belonging to the LGBTQ community and therefore it hurts Hindu sentiments.</p>
