The hullabaloo of the past month wasn’t easy on OMG 2 writer-director Amit Rai. But through the noise, he was determined to stay true to the movie’s core—a father-son story that stemmed from his own life. “My son opened my social media account without any help from me and showed it to me. That made me think, how does one control their kid? It led to multiple thoughts about why more fathers should talk to their sons,” Rai recounts. This led to the genesis of the Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam-starrer that sees a father sue the school after his son is expelled from it.
