Paresh Rawal Claims OMG 2 Story Was Stolen
16 Jul
Summary
- Rawal says his original story was a father-son drama, not divine.
- He claims he wasn't given credit for the story or its concept.
- Paresh Rawal refused to act after the script's significant changes.
Actor Paresh Rawal has voiced strong claims regarding the origin of the film OMG 2, stating the initial story concept was his. According to Rawal, the original premise was a father-son drama centered on sex education and a parent's fight for justice, notably without any divine characters.
Rawal expressed his disappointment at not receiving credit for the story or concept. He indicated that the project significantly transformed after Akshay Kumar joined, leading him to withdraw from the film. He mentioned approaching director Amit Rai with the idea, which revolved around a schoolboy facing social ostracization after a private act was circulated.
Despite Akshay Kumar's invitation to star in the film, Rawal declined, stating he no longer recognized it as his original vision. He emphasized that the inclusion of God was absent in his initial concept. Eventually, Pankaj Tripathi portrayed the father, while Akshay Kumar appeared as a divine messenger in the 2023 release, which faced censorship hurdles.
