OMG 2 Teaser: After playing Lord Krishna in the first installment of `OMG: Oh My God!`, Akshay Kumar will now be seen playing Lord Shiva. Unlike the 2012 outing where he comes to the rescue of an atheist, this time he comes to help his devotee. The first film starred Paresh Rawal alongside Akshay Kumar with the brilliant Mithun Chakraborty as a God Man.
The teaser of `OMG 2` begins with a brief recap of part 1 where Paresh Rawal aka Kanjilal, an atheist, witnesses divine intervention when Lord Krishna comes to aide. He files a case against God after he loses his shop in a natural disaster. However, for the sequel, Akshay Kumar as Lord Shiva comes to the aide of his devotee Pankaj Tripathi. The character is portrayed as a believer who regularly worships Lord Shiva. While not much is revealed about the problem faced by Tripathi`s character, he gets the help of the Lord himself in his battle on earth. The film also stars Yami Gautam as a lawyer. However, she was not seen in the teaser.
