“OMG 2” serves as the follow-up to the 2012 hit “OMG,” which also featured Akshay Kumar in a pivotal role. However, the sequel sees some changes in the cast lineup. Paresh Rawal, an integral part of the original film, won’t be returning for this sequel. In a shift, the franchise welcomes Pankaj Tripathi to its ranks. Yami Gautam is another notable addition, taking on a significant role in the movie. The film has received an ‘Adults Only’ certification.
