Paresh Rawal said he declined OMG 2 because it was no longer the film he had envisioned. Claiming the original concept was his, he alleged, "My name wasn't mentioned anywhere," despite several people knowing about his contribution.
Veteran actor Paresh Rawal has opened up about his association with OMG 2, revealing that the film was originally conceived differently and was not planned as a sequel to OMG: Oh My God!. Rawal claimed that he had developed the initial concept with filmmaker Amit Rai and later decided to step away when the project took a different direction.
Paresh Rawal Claims OMG 2 Was Originally His Idea
Speaking to Vickey Lalwani, Rawal claimed that the project was never intended to be a direct sequel to OMG and did not include a divine character. He also revealed that he had considered actors Ajay Devgn and Salman Khan for the biker’s role and avoided approaching Akshay Kumar initially, as audiences might have assumed it was an OMG sequel.
However, Rawal said Akshay Kumar later came on board after the script reached him through producer Ashwin Varde. He claimed that the script was tentatively titled OMG 2 because of the similarity in genre, which changed the direction of the project.
