Speaking about Akshay Kumar's look, the poster shows Akshay donning a wig and blue paint on his neck, symbolic of Lord Shiva.

'OMG 2' is now set to clash with Sunny Deol's 'Gadar 2' at the box office on August 11, 2023, as its previous clash with Ranbir Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna's Animal has been averted due to a change in release dates.
 
The film is written and directed by Amit Rai. Initially, there were reports that 'OMG 2' would opt for an OTT release instead of a theatrical one, citing Akshay Kumar's recent string of box office failures. 

For those unfamiliar, the first installment of 'OMG' was directed by Amit Rai and starred Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal in the lead roles. The story revolved around Kanji Lalji Mehta, an atheist who owns a shop selling Hindu idols and antiques. After his shop is destroyed by an earthquake, he takes legal action against God as his insurance claim is denied. The film garnered critical acclaim upon its release.
