OMG 2, starring Akshay Kumar, is gaining significant traction due to its exceptional storyline, and positive word-of-mouth is driving impressive Box Office results. Nevertheless, the movie encountered a substantial setback when the censor board expressed concerns about Akshay Kumar’s portrayal as Lord Shiva and the film’s theme of sexual education. This resulted in the film undergoing 24 censor edits and came under the category of adult content. Despite the film’s team voicing their objections, they ultimately yielded to the censor board’s stipulations. Actor Govind Namdev comments on this.
