00:00 As OMG2, Akshay Kumar's latest film, premiered in theatres on Friday, the Rashtriya Hindu
00:15 Parishan Bharat has offered a reward to anyone who can slap or spit on the Bollywood actor
00:21 for allegedly offending religious sentiments by portraying Lord Shiva in the movie.
00:27 The organisation also protested by burning effigies of Akshay Kumar and OMG2 posters
00:33 in Agra and demonstrating outside theatres, according to reports.
00:37 Govind Parashar, the head of the Agra unit of Rashtriya Hindu Parishad, has allegedly
00:44 offered a reward of Rs 10 lakh to anyone who can slap or spit on the face of the actor
00:50 Akshay Kumar, who starred in the film.
00:53 Parashar has also expressed dissatisfaction with Akshay Kumar's portrayal of Lord Shiva,
00:59 particularly his look with deadlocks and boots, buying kachoris and bathing in a dirty pond.
01:06 He claimed that such depiction tarnished the image of Lord Shiva.
01:11 The report indicates that the organisation has called for the film's ban for both the
01:16 censor board and the central government.
01:18 Meanwhile, on its opening day, OMG2 collected Rs 10.26 crore at the box office, competing
01:26 with Sunny Deol's Kadha 2, which also released on the same day and managed to earn Rs 40
01:32 crores.
01:33 OMG2 also features Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam.
01:36 The film garnered controversy due to its plot revolving around sex education in Indian schools,
01:42 leading to the Central Board of Film Certification, CBFC, granting it an adults-only certificate.
01:50 Directed by Amit Rai, the movie follows the story of a common man, Kanti Sharan Mudgal,
01:56 played by Pankaj Tripathi, a family man of faith, who challenges the system to protect
02:01 his son.
02:02 Akshay Kumar's character, Lord Shiva, plays a pivotal mentorship role in guiding him through
02:07 challenges.
02:08 Spotted as a satirical comedy-drama, OMG2 is a highly anticipated sequel of the 2012
02:15 blockbuster OMG, starring Paresh Rawal and Akshay Kumar, which achieved both critical
02:22 acclaim and commercial success.
02:24 The film is produced by KPOF Good Films, Ashwin Vardey, Vipul D. Shah and Rajesh Pal, with
