Akshay Kumar is dressed like Lord Shiva in striking new OMG 2 poster, film to clash with Rajinikanth’s Jailer and Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2

The film, which is a sequel to the 2012 released film, OMG, starring Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal, is also important as Akshay Kumar has seen a series of flops in the past with films like Selfiee, Bachchan Pandey, Ram Setu, and Samrat Prithviraj. His film Bell Bottom and Raksha Bandhan also underperformed at the box office.

The first film, OMG, was well-received by audiences and was one of the most commercially successful films of 2012. The film was centered on Kanji Lalji Mehta, an atheist who owns a shop selling Hindu idols and antiques and sues God after his shop is destroyed during an earthquake. Akshay was recently seen seeking blessings at the Kedarnath temple.

Other than OMG- Oh My God 2, Akshay also has action thriller, Bade Miyan Chote Miyan directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, and the third installment of Hera Pheri in his kitty.
