Producer Ashwin Varde said Paresh Rawal received producer credit and payment for OMG 2 despite making no creative contribution beyond being considered as an actor. Varde alleged Rawal's recent allegations were false, maintaining that Amit Rai alone wrote the script and that the team acted ethically throughout the project.
Veteran actor Paresh Rawal, recently, in an interview, claimed that the original story idea of OMG 2 was his, and the makers didn't give him credit for it. He also said that he didn't want the Pankaj Tripathi-starrer to be made as part of the OMG franchise, and that, for the character Akshay Kumar played, he had approached other actors. Now, the producer of OMG 2, Ashwin Varde, has shared a long statement in which he has revealed his side of the story.
Varde responds to allegations
The statement read, “The accusations made by Paresh Rawal in a recent podcast pertaining to OMG 2 are shocking, untrue and unsubstantiated. These allegations leave me with no option but to publicly set the record straight. I would like to share my version of the journey of OMG 2, as it really happened.”
In the statement, Varde further revealed that he met Amit Rai (OMG 2 writer-director) through actor Pavan Malhotra, and they had met for a different film. Later, Varde and Rai became friends, and during a casual conversation, the latter briefly narrated a concept to him, and that eventually became OMG 2.
