It was earlier reported that Akshay Kumar’s ‘OMG!’ is all set to get a sequel and the fans couldn’t hold their excitement together.
The first part starred Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal in the main lead. However, Pinkvilla has reported that Paresh Rawal will not be a part of the sequel.
A source tells Pinkvilla “Oh My God 2 will feature Pankaj Tripathi as the lead character alongside Akshay Kumar, who gets back to play his role from the first part. The discussions have been going on for quite some time with Pankaj and everything is now locked.”
The film is supposed to go on floors in the month of September for a two-month schedule.
“The pre-production work has begun with a team working in isolation to explore the probable locations of the shoot, and also deciding on designing the sets in the city. The film will be wrapped up in one go by the month of October,” the source added.
This would mark the second collaboration of Akshay with Pankaj Tripathi, as the two recently worked together on the Sajid Nadiadwala production, Bachchan Pandey, directed by Farhad Samji.
The sequel of OMG won’t be helmed by Umesh Shukla. While the director is locked, his name is being kept under wraps. As reported by Pinkvilla before, OMG 2 will be produced by Ashwin Varde along with Akshay himself.
