Amit Rai CONFIRMS OMG 3, Says Akshay Kumar Will Return in The 3rd Instalment

Filmmaker Amit Rai confirmed that Oh My God 3 (OMG 3) is in the pipeline and Akshay Kumar will be returning to the franchise. During a recent media interaction, Rai opened up about the film and said, “Uska next instalment to aayega jald hi lekin vo usse bada hoga jo aapne dekha hai.” (The next instalment will come soon, but it will be bigger than what you have seen before.)

Confirming Akshay Kumar’s return, he continued, “Vo to honge (he will be a part) as he is the producer of the film..film pe kaam chala raha hai (work on the film is underway)…It will be released next year.” Amit Rai directed OMG 2, which was the sequel of the satirical drama OMG starring Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal, among others. OMG 2 starred Pankaj Tripathi along with Kumar. The second part also starred Yami Gautam, Pavan Malhotra and Govind Namdev among others. It focused on sex education in India.

Some time back, Rai spoke about Akshay’s deep involvement with OMG 2 and said, “From narrating the script to other actors in an entertaining way to remembering all the scenes by hearing it, Akshay sir was deeply involved in the making of OMG 2 as an actor and a producer. He worked more like a creative producer. He even improvised several scenes in the film. He gave input on how to tweak some scenes in order to avoid criticism. The masturbation scene, for example, he asked me to shoot it properly and said, ‘We will see about it later’. I am very open in how I want to tell my stories.”

Meanwhile, Rai has reunited with Tripathi for another socially relevant drama. Joining Pankaj Tripathi on the cast are actors Pawan Malhotra, Geeta Agarwal, Rajesh Kumar and several talents from the local Bhojpuri film industry. Talking about Akshay Kumar, the actor will be seen in Jolly LLB 3. The teaser was unveiled by the makers today. The comedy drama also stars Arshad Warsi and Saurabh Shukla.
