OMG 3: Akshay Kumar & Amit Rai Begin Early Brainstorming for the Next Courtroom Satire
Ever since the phenomenal triumph of OMG 2 in 2023, the spotlight turned to the next evolution of the socially charged courtroom franchise. Now, it is official, as Akshay Kumar and director Amit Rai have had their first proper conversation for OMG 3—and the scripting is said to start soon.
The two were recently together in Kerala during the final song shoot for Akshay’s upcoming horror-comedy Bhooth Bangla, and insiders are saying it wasn’t all just for wrap-up shots but was actually a launchpad for the next divine intervention on screen.
Amit Rai & Akshay Kumar Brainstorm Multiple Plot Lines For OMG 3
According to a close insider, Amit Rai was in Kerala with Akshay Kumar at the last schedule of Bhooth Bangla, and the two spent time going through many narrative options for OMG 3 with no deadlines over a three-day period.
“Amit had a number of ideas for OMG 3. The two spent time weighing which option to take for the third narrative instalment. The plan is to take the film on floors in the second half of 2026,” revealed an insider.
This reflects the team’s tempered cautiousness, as the mantle has been passed on after the critical acclaim and commercial success of OMG 2, which took on important social issues, including sex education and all the social taboos that come with it.
Script Coming Soon and Casting
The scripting process starts soon, with Amit Rai working on the first draft. Once the screenplay is locked, then it will move on to casting. Obviously, this third part will have social commentary within the courtroom drama satire that OMG has become known for.
“Akshay Kumar and Amit Rai jammed really well. It was emphasized that this 3rd part will not be rushed. The story will organically develop itself while putting emphasis on the messaging and entertainment,” added the source.
