New Delhi:

Just a few days before the release of OMG 2, the makers hosted a special screening of the film in Mumbai on Monday night. Akshay Kumar, who plays a messenger of Lord Shiva in the film, happily posed for the cameras at the film’s screening. Pankaj Tripathi, who plays a character named Kanti Sharan Mudgal, was all smiles as he attended the screening of the film. Yami Gautam, who plays a lawyer in OMG 2, greeted the paparazzi with folded hands. All the stars happily posed together at the film screening, where they were joined by co-star Arun Govil.

The trailer of OMG 2 released last week. The trailer release was delayed after it was reported that the film would be subject to additional scrutiny from the Censor Board to avoid the kind of criticism that Adipurush received. The film has received an Adults certification from the Censor Board. A source close to the social-themed comedy-drama had revealed earlier that the film passed without any deletions and that only a few modifications are required. Among the reported changes were modifications in Akshay Kumar’s character – in the final cut, he is shown as a messenger of Lord Shiva rather than Lord Shiva himself.

OMG 2 will release in theatres on August 11. The film will clash with Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2 at the box office. Directed by Amit Rai, it is the sequel to Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal’s 2012 film OMG – Oh My God. The first installment presented the story of Kanji Lalji Mehta (played by Paresh Rawal), who files a case against God for the destruction of his shop in an earthquake. The film also starred Mithun Chakraborty, Govind Namdev and late actor Om Puri in a special role.
