The Khiladi of Bollywood Akshay Kumar is considered one of the highest-paid actors in the film industry. However, if recent reports are to be believed, he has cut his fees drastically because of multiple flops at the box office in the recent past. The actor is known for giving big hit films in the industry, however, his recent movies like ‘Ram Setu’, ‘Selfiee’, ‘Samrat Prithviraj’ and ‘Rakshabandhan’ were not able to charm the audience and hit good numbers at the box office.
According to multiple reports floating around the Internet, the actor charged far less for his upcoming release, Oh My God 2. As reported by E-Times, Akshay, who used to take Rs 50–100 crore for a movie, is doing the OMG sequel for only Rs 35 crore. Meanwhile, his costars Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam have charged Rs 5 crore and 2-3 crore, respectively. However, there is no confirmation regarding the same.
The teaser for OMG 2 was released earlier this week in which Akshay was seen essaying the role of Lord Shiva, while Pankaj Tripathi was seen essaying the role of Kanti Sharan Mudgal, who is a devotee of Lord Shiva. Yami Gautam will be seen as a lawyer in the film. The plot seemingly revolves around Lord Shiva helping out his devotee with a big tragedy.
However, earlier today, it was reported that Oh My God 2 has been pushed for review by the Central Board Of Film Certification. According to a report by India Today, the film has reportedly been referred to the reviewing committee as a ‘preemptive measure’. This move comes at a time when Prabhas starrer Adipurush has also been facing immense backlash from all.
Oh My God 2 is helmed by Amit Rai and is set to release on August 11. It will clash at the box office with Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2 which is releasing on the same date.
