Rani Mukerji and Akshay Kumar to lead OMG 3

Both Oh My God (OMG) and Oh My God 2 received widespread acclaim for addressing societal issues that are rarely discussed. Now, the makers are all set to make OMG 3 and a report claimed that Rani Mukerji is likely to join the cast alongside Akshay Kumar.

What will be the plot of OMG 3?

Pinkvilla reported that OMG 3 is currently in the pre-production stage and is likely to go on floors by mid-2026. “Director Amit Rai has cracked a story that is bigger, more relevant, and hard-hitting than the previous instalments. Akshay was clear that OMG 3 had to scale up in every aspect, from story, emotions, to performances, and Rani coming on board has made the film even bigger,” the source added.

Which social issues were addressed in OMG and OMG 2?

The story of OMG is based on the Gujarati stage play Kanji Virudh Kanji, which serves as a critique of organised religion and the commercialisation of faith in India. Starring Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal, the film's central theme advocates a "God-loving" rather than a "God-fearing" devotion, encouraging individuals to find God within themselves and humanity, not through rituals, idols, or intermediaries (god-men).

It is a thought-provoking satire that uses humour to question blind faith and emphasises the importance of rationality and helping the poor rather than donating huge amounts of money to temples.

On the other hand, OMG 2, starring Akshay, Pankaj Tripathi, and Yami Gautam, follows Kanti Sharan Mudgal (Pankaj Tripathi), a devout Shiva follower, as he fights a defamation lawsuit against his son's school after the boy is bullied for a sex education-related incident, with a divine messenger (Akshay Kumar) aiding him in court.

It explores themes of sex education, misinformation, divine intervention, and challenging social taboos in a powerful courtroom drama. This film highlights the important need for proper sex education in schools, contrasting it with misinformation and stigma.
