According to a report from ‘Aaj Tak,’ the CBFC is on high alert and aims to avoid repeating the situation that led to hurt sentiments during the screening of ‘Adipurush.’ Consequently, the film has been sent to the revision committee for further evaluation, which will play a crucial role in determining the film’s fate.
The Cast of ‘OMG 2’
The film features a talented cast, including Yami Gautam, who portrays the role of a lawyer, and Pankaj Tripathi in the lead role. Directed by Amit Rai, ‘OMG 2’ is a sequel to the successful film ‘OMG: Oh My God!,’ which starred Paresh Rawal and Akshay Kumar.
