New Delhi: Almost two months after Akshay Kumar’s OMG 2 was finally released in theatres on August 11 with 27 cuts from the Censor Board of Film Certification, the actor has now reacted to the matter. In a recent interview, Akshay mentioned that he does not have any idea about the rule and therefore he did not intend to fight when OMG 2 was asked for 27 cuts.

“I don’t want to fight. I have no idea about the rules. I didn’t get into the rulebook. If they thought it was an adult film, then… did you all feel it is an adult film? Whoever we have shown the film to, they loved it. I made it for youngsters and I’m happy it is coming on Netflix and I’m happy about it. That’s it. The important thing is that people should know about it,” Akshay said during a group interview as quoted by India Today.

The Mission Raniganj actor also recalled how he was discouraged during his 2017 movie Toilet: Ek Prem Katha. “When I made ‘Toilet: Ek Prem Katha’, everybody told me what kind of title this is. I was asked, ‘Are you mad? Do you want to make a film on shauchalaya? Who makes a film on a subject like toilet?’ I would like to tell you one thing, please don’t discourage me by thinking what business it (my film) is going to do. Give me courage, at least this kind of film is being made and we are showing it to our children. It is time to change society,” the actor said. Akshay further mentioned that the situation was no different during the release of his 2018 drama Pad Man.

OMG 2 was pushed for review by the Central Board Of Film Certification in July this year i.e. a month after Prabhas starrer Adipurush faced immense backlash from the audience. Reportedly, OMG 2’s review decision was taken to avoid the backlash that unfolded after Adipurush was released in June 2023. OMG 2 was then granted an ‘A – Adults Only’ certificate from the censor board in India and was passed with 27 changes and numerous modifications, News18 reported.

However, OMG 2 impressed the audience. Several, including Sadhguru expressed disappointment with CBFC for granting ‘A’ certificate to the movie.
