Akshay Kumar does a lot of films in a year, more than any of his contemporaries. One of the most anticipated films of his has to be OMG 2 which has been generating a lot of buzz lately. However, the film has been stuck with the Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC) over its certification for a variety of reasons. Now we have an exclusive new update regarding this matter.
The CBFC has performed 27 cuts and modifications on the film in both audio and visual form. One of the major changes is the modification of the Lord Shiva character played by Akshay Kumar. Instead of God, he will be showcased as a messenger of God. The scenes involving frontal nudity have also been removed. A dialogue in the film “Bhagwan ko bhakti…mahilayein nahi dekh sakti” has been replaced by “O laal shirt wale bhaiya…baba ka dhyan karte rahe.”
Here’s the censor certificate of the film:
Details Of Modifications Done By The Censor Board
The mention of alcohol, condom, the word rat from rat poison, as well as mentions of rasleela, Bhagwat Gita and Shivji’s ling have also been replaced and modified. A dialogue said by Akshay (Main…taang kyun adhaoon) has been replaced by another dialogue as well as a scene of him being drunk has also been removed.
