‘OMG 2’ actor Govind Namdev slams CBFC; says it ‘diverted all their brains in chopping progressive film’

Actor Govind Namdev, who plays Pujari in Akshay Kumar starrer ‘OMG 2’, has slammed the Central Board of Film Certification for giving his film an Adult certification.

In a Facebook post, He urged the CBFC to reconsider its decision of assigning A certificate to a film targeted towards teenagers. 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!’

He then compared ‘OMG 2's struggle with CBFC to that of ‘Adipurush's.

‘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 added.

‘It will be a wise step if Censor rectify 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.

‘OMG 2’ is directed by Amit Rai. It is co-produced by Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal, both of whom starred in the first film. The sequel stars Pankaj Tripathi, Yami Gautam, and Akshay among others. It has earned ₹80 crore at the box office so far.
