Despite the director’s and his team’s best efforts, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) chose not to alter the film’s certification from ‘A’ to ‘U/A,’ resulting in consequences that extend beyond the movie’s narrative. At the heart of CBFC’s decision lies a young actor named Arush Varma, who portrays Pankaj Tripathi’s son in the film. Due to his age, Arush, a 16-year-old, is prohibited from viewing his own performance on the big screen.
The film’s ‘A’ certificate restricts public viewing to individuals aged 18 and above, preventing the intended audience from fully engaging with the story. The ripple effect of this certification decision is evident as Arush’s relatives express their eagerness to watch the film alongside him, only to realize that he won’t be able to witness his own work.
Notably, the film’s cast, including Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam, disagreed with the ‘A’ rating. They emphasized the importance of the film’s topic, centered around children’s education, and considered it a vital and sensitive subject.
In “OMG 2,” Pankaj Tripathi portrays Kanti Sharan Mudgal, a devout follower of Lord Shiva, while Akshay Kumar takes on the role of Lord Shiva’s messenger.
