One of the first renditions of Akshay Kumar’s character, as envisioned by stylist Ellawadi
Starring Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam, OMG 2 highlights the importance of sex education by telling the story of a Lord Shiva devotee, who sues the school after his son is expelled for a ‘vulgar’ act. Leepakshi Ellawadi, who is the film’s costume designer, says that Kumar’s character—a messenger of Lord Shiva—was the most fascinating to work on. She remembers the brief given to her as she began work in 2021.
“The character is written in a way that it’s imaginative and yet real, dropping enough clues by way of mannerism and colour palette of who he is. My idea was to weave certain elements to create a vagabond-like character, who is captivating and has a multi-dimensional persona that also pays homage to the spiritual and mythological essence of Shiva.”
