‘OMG 2’ features Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi, and Yami Gautam in lead roles. The film is directed by Amit Rai and revolves around the concept of a middle-class father raising awareness about the misconceptions of s*x education. Actor Aarush Varma, who played the role of Vivek in the film, recently opened up about not being able to watch his film due to age restrictions.

The film was released on August 11, after the Central Board of Film Certification awarded ‘OMG 2’ with ‘A certificate.’ In an interview with ANI, Aarush Varma said, “I will regret not being able to see my first film in the theatre, I feel a little angry and bad. I just want that if the Central Board of Film Certification takes any decision, then it should be such a decision which will be beneficial for us.”

He continued, “Because I want everyone to enjoy the film with my age group friends, and the target audience of this film, for whom it was made, should also be able to understand this film and learn something. Because the vision behind this movie had only one purpose and that was to make India learn that s*x education is not something to be learned in secret, it is a matter that can talk openly.”

He further said, “I think s*x education is such a thing that everyone should learn because everything has questions. Even a little misinformation can be very harmful. Like my character, Vivek got a little wrong information. So I want that s*x education should be taught worldwide in such a way that no one else has to suffer something that causes complete loss. What is period, and what is pregnancy, all these topics are completely natural. It is not even that they are artificial topics, so why talk to them secretly, if you tell them openly, then people will understand, people will ask questions, and only then you will get answers, answers happen only when there is a question, I stole this line from Akshay Kumar. It's a lie but it's true, that's why I wanted to do this film.”

He added, “There is nothing in the film that children should not watch. In fact this film has been made for children to watch. Instead of teaching children, we are showing that film to adults, so what was the point of making that film? There is no point in making a film if the right film is not shown to the right people. People will say that this is an 18 movie, don't show it to children, when we come out, please let your children watch this film because this film had only one purpose and that was s*x education. Education is a very wide topic which leaves a lot of confusion if not explained properly.”

He further continued, “Even before the release of the trailer of OMG 2, people were saying that they will boycott it... In this film, nothing has been shown against God… not against any temple or priest. If people will trend to boycott it without thinking, then there is no need to stop it."

Aarush’s mother Shruti Varma also opened up about the matter and said, “It is so sad that the children of the group for which this film was made have not been able to see it till now. It is such a big medium through which people can talk about everything openly. If the Ministry should be included, it may be reviewed, if necessary, an external committee may be constituted to look at me further, because there is nothing in this film that warrants an age certificate.”
