Akshay Kumar and Rani Mukerji to Team up for the First Time for 'Oh My God 3': Report
Akshay Kumar and Rani Mukerji join Oh My God 3 under director Amit Rai, aiming for a socially relevant story with elevated scale and impact, sources say.
- Akshay Kumar and Rani Mukerji will star together in Oh My God 3, marking their first on-screen pairing since a shelved 1997 project, with Amit Rai returning as director and Pinkvilla reporting the casting during pre-production.
- Director Amit Rai has `cracked a story that is bigger, more relevant, and hard-hitting`, and sources say Rani Mukerji's presence adds `immense gravitas` to Akshay Kumar's aim to scale up story and performances.
- Past releases prompted controversy and censorship, such as the second film's Adults Only certificate with 27 cuts from the CBFC; the franchise began in 2012 starring Paresh Rawal and Akshay Kumar, with the 2023 sequel featuring Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam.
- Pinkvilla quoted a source saying this is `one of the biggest castings in recent years`, while plot details remain under wraps, industry sources say, despite buzz of a more hard-hitting story.
- The franchise's popularity and new casting position OMG 3 as a major release, especially with Akshay Kumar's recent run of hits in recent years, sources say.
