Akshay Kumar's much-awaited film OMG 2 is finally set to hit the theaters. The movie had been stuck in the review stage of the censor board for a long time. However, after receiving an A certificate, the film's trailer has been released, and it is now Ready for the Theaters. The makers of the film, including Pankaj Tripathi and Akshay Kumar, have made several changes in the movie based on the censor board's recommendations. Let's take a look at the significant alterations made to OMG 2.
1. Change in Character Identity
The censor board faced challenges with Akshay Kumar's
character portrayal. In the original version, Akshay was depicted as Lord
Shiva, and the film touched on the topic of sex education. This combination
of divinity and sex education could have stirred emotions among the audience.
Consequently, the most significant change was shifting his identity from Lord
Shiva to his divine messenger.
2. Alcohol References Replaced
The film initially had scenes where liquor was offered as
offerings to the gods. To avoid controversy, the board requested the filmmakers
to replace these scenes with offerings of milk or other non-alcoholic
substances.
3. Modified Dialogues
Several dialogues in the film had references to adult
content, scriptures, and ancient texts. The censor board insisted on modifying
these dialogues to maintain a family-friendly tone and respect cultural
sentiments.
4. Removal of Nudity Scenes
Initially, there were frontal nudity scenes featuring Naga
sadhus in the film. These scenes were replaced with more appropriate content to
make the film suitable for a wider audience.
5. Fictional City Name
The film's story is set in the imaginary city of Ujjain,
associated with the deity Mahakal. To avoid religious controversies, the censor
board ordered the filmmakers to rename the city to a fictional name.
6. School Name Change
In the film, a school was referred to using its real name.
However, the board requested the school's name be changed to a generic name to
avoid any legal issues or misrepresentations.
7. Replacing Offensive Terms
Certain dialogues that were deemed offensive by the censor
board underwent replacements to ensure the film's content remains respectful
and non-controversial.
8. Sensitivity towards Sexual Themes
The film features a sexologist, Dr. Prakash Kothari, who
educates about masturbation. To ensure that the content remains informative yet
sensitive, the board recommended changing certain dialogues and terms.
9. Child's Involvement in Sexual Act
A scene showing a minor engaging in a sexual act was a major
concern for the censor board. This scene was entirely removed from the film to
comply with the guidelines.
10. Removal of Offensive Gestures
Certain sexual gestures made by a sex worker during a
courtroom scene were deemed inappropriate. These gestures were eliminated from
the final cut of the film.
With the changes made in response to the censor board's
recommendations, "OMG 2" is now ready to entertain audiences. The
filmmakers have diligently addressed the concerns raised by the board, ensuring
a more culturally sensitive and family-friendly movie-watching experience. As
"OMG 2" and Sunny Deol's "Gadar 2" gear up for a box-office
clash, it will be interesting to see which film emerges victorious.
