The Adipurush Effect? Akshay Kumar's OMG 2 Faces Extra Censor Board Scrutiny: Reports
NDTV
OMG 2 is headlined by Akshay Kumar and Pankaj Tripathi
Bollywood superstar Akshay Kumar's next big releaseOMG 2 is making headlines even before its release. The film, like its prequel, explores the concepts of faith and religion and the teaser suggests that Akshay Kumar is playing the role of Lord Shiva in this installment. In the first film, the superstar played Lord Krishna who comes to the rescue of a middle-class Gujarati atheist. Given the nature of the subject, the film has been sent to the Censor Board's Revision Committee to avoid any issues post the release, as per an ETimes report. This development comes close on the heels of the Adipurush debacle, where the film based on Ramayana was widely criticised for its inaccurate depictions of events and characters as well as unpalatable dialogues. As per the report, the makers of OMG 2 have been told by the Examining Committee to “refer the film to the Revision Committee.”
The “preemptive measures” have been taken to avoid a repeat of the backlash that Adipurush faced, another report by India Today quoted sources as saying. The source also hinted that more films that deal with sensitive subjects like religion will have to be screened before the Censor Board's Review Committee for revision, if necessary.
