After a lot of back and forth with the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), Akshay Kumar-starrer `OMG 2` has finally received the boards approval to release the film in theatres. Reportedly, the Examining Committee (EC), after watching the film, referred the Akshay Kumar starrer to the Revising Committee (RC) since the film had a religious angle and the former didn’t want to take any chances. The RC, too, was skeptical to pass the film based on the issue of sex education that it deal with. Considering the recent episodes with `Adipurush` and `Oppenheimer`s Bhagavad Gita scene, the Committee was not keen on giving the film a go ahead without demanding cuts. However, it turns out that the board has agreed to pass the film with modifications and no cuts.
According to reports in Bollywood Hungama, a source revealed, "The film has been passed by the CBFC but with an ‘A’ certificate. The makers tried their best to get a U/A certificate as they believe that the under-18 crowd should watch their film for its message. However, that would have meant accepting several cuts.” The reports state that the team has been suggested audio cuts and no visual cuts.
