OMG 2 Writer Feud: Director vs. Actor
17 Jul
Summary
- Director Amit Rai asserts sole authorship of OMG 2 story and script.
- Paresh Rawal's claim to developing the film's story is refuted.
- Rai states all documentation is officially registered in his name.
Director Amit Rai has addressed actor Paresh Rawal's recent assertion that he developed the story for the film "OMG 2." Rai unequivocally stated his position as the original writer, asserting ownership of both the story and the script. He clarified that his role in the film has always been limited to directing.
Rai expressed surprise at Rawal's claims, noting that the veteran actor's name appears in the film's opening credits alongside his partner. Rai highlighted that all documentation, including the script, concept, and character development, is officially registered with the Screenwriters' Association under his name.
The filmmaker questioned the timing of Rawal's comments, as the film was released approximately three years ago. Rai maintained his respect for Rawal but questioned the motivation behind these statements made long after the movie's debut. He asserted his focus on his work and denied any intention of taking credit away from others.
This public disagreement follows producer Ashwin Varde's earlier denial of Rawal's claim, where Varde specified Rawal's involvement as a financial beneficiary rather than a credited writer. Rai reiterated that the creative and writing credits for "OMG 2" remain officially under his name.
