‘OMG 2’, starring Akshay Kumar and Pankaj Tripathi, is all set to release in theatres on August 11.

Ahead of its release, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has issued an ‘A’ (Adults Only) certificate to the film, without no cuts, but has recommended more than 25 modifications.

The movie, written and directed by Amit Rai, tells the story of Kanti Sharan Mudgal, a devotee of Lord Shiva, who resides in the temple town of Ujjain.

During a critical moment, God helps him in resolving the challenges he faces.

‘OMG 2’ sparked controversy after a priest from Ujjain’s Mahakaleshwar temple demanded the deletion of the scenes filmed at the shrine, as reported by news agency ANI

A priest of the Mahakaleshwar temple, said, ‘The censor board has given ‘A’ certificate to the film Oh My God 2. This certification is reserved for films that have adult content. We demand that some scenes, which were filmed at the Mahakal temple, be removed as they might offend the religious sentiments of viewers. If our demand isn’t met, we will launch protests across the country.’

‘OMG 2’ is a sequel to Akshay Kumar’s 2012 blockbuster, ‘OMG – Oh My God!’

Akshay Kumar was last seen in Raj Mehta’s ‘Selfiee’, which proved to be a massive failure at the box office, earning only Rs 24.6 crore worldwide despite being made with a budget exceeding Rs 100 crore.
