The popular satirical franchise OMG (Oh My God) is reportedly gearing up for a third cinematic outing, and this time, it promises a powerful divine feminine perspective. Industry buzz suggests the new film, tentatively titled 'Oh My Goddess', will feature a landmark first-time pairing of Bollywood stars Akshay Kumar and Rani Mukerji.
A Divine Cast and a Fresh Narrative
While an official confirmation from the producers or actors is still awaited, reliable sources indicate that the storyline will undergo a significant shift. Rani Mukerji is likely to portray a Goddess, bringing a new dimension to the franchise's exploration of faith and belief systems. Interestingly, Akshay Kumar, who played pivotal roles in the previous two films, is said to have a special cameo appearance in this instalment.
A source close to the development revealed, "The movie will have a goddess this time and change the narrative. It will be something absolutely different from the previous two. Akshay has a cameo and will mostly only shoot for a day or two." This setup has already generated immense curiosity about the dynamic between the two powerhouse performers, even if their screen time together is brief.
Production Timeline and Creative Team
The project is currently in the pre-production stage, with plans to commence principal photography in April. Director Amit Rai, who helmed the successful sequel 'OMG 2', is expected to return to direct the third part, ensuring continuity in the franchise's signature tone of satire and social commentary. However, the production will see a change, with a new set of producers backing this chapter.
The OMG series is renowned for its critical and humorous take on religious institutions and blind faith. The third part is anticipated to stay in that thematic space but viewed through a refreshed and feminine lens, offering a novel take on its core subjects.
Anticipation Builds for a New Chapter
The mere prospect of Akshay Kumar and Rani Mukerji sharing the screen, a combination never seen before in Hindi cinema, has sent waves of excitement through the industry and fan communities. The franchise's previous success, coupled with this fresh casting and narrative angle, positions 'Oh My Goddess' as one of the most keenly awaited developments in Bollywood.
The sequel, OMG 2, featured actor Pankaj Tripathi in a leading role, receiving widespread acclaim. The upcoming film now aims to carve its own unique identity with its divine feminine twist and star-powered cameo, promising another thought-provoking entertainer for audiences.
