OMG Franchise Rights Claimed Amid Sequel Buzz
11 Jan
Summary
- Digital18 Media asserts ownership over the OMG franchise.
- A public notice cautions against unauthorized OMG sequels.
- Reports suggest OMG 3 is in development with Akshay Kumar.
Digital18 Media Private Limited has formally asserted its legal rights and ownership over the entire "OMG" (Oh My God) franchise through a public notice issued on January 10, 2026. This notice serves as a direct caution to all parties against developing, marketing, or producing any derivative works, sequels, or prequels related to "OMG 2" (2023) without explicit written consent from Digital18.
As the successor-in-interest to Viacom18 Media Private Limited's studios business, effective November 14, 2024, Digital18 now jointly owns all franchise and derivative rights associated with the "OMG 2" film. The notice warns that any unauthorized sequel development, financing, or announcement, including the use of deceptively similar titles or promotional materials, constitutes an infringement of their proprietary rights.
The assertion of rights by Digital18 occurs amidst circulating reports about "OMG 3," tentatively titled "Oh My Goddess," which are said to involve Akshay Kumar and Rani Mukerji. These reports, suggesting filming could commence in February 2026, have seemingly prompted Digital18 to publicly reaffirm its exclusive ownership of the franchise's intellectual property.
