Akshay Kumar did not charge a single rupee for OMG 2. Even the 150 crore stated budget for the movie was debunked by Viacom’s COO.
One of the highest-paid performers in the nation, Akshay Kumar may earn up to 100+ crores for a single movie. You would be surprised to learn that the actor, who is also a co-producer of the movie, forwent all of his compensation gave the OMG sequel, which is receiving raving reviews from both the public and reviewers. Even the rumors that the movie cost 150 crores are completely false.
Akshay Kumar did not take the fee
During an interview, Ajit Andhare responded to a question about the OMG 2 budget by saying, “The claims of the OMG 2 budget have been overblown. In contrast, Akshay did not request a single penny in payment and instead walked alongside us through the risks—both financial and artistic—of such a risky picture. I have been entirely on board with them in accepting scripts that are unconventional but something huge and standing up for the good, despite the fact that we and the studio have a long history of working together and sharing an understanding going back to OMG, Special 26, and Toilet: Ek Prem Katha. Without him, we couldn’t have taken this chance because he had totally committed.
The part of Shivganga, Lord Shiva’s messenger, was played by Akshay Kumar. In addition, Pankaj Tripathi plays a Shiva devotee who defends his son in court while advocating for sex education. In the movie, Yami Gautam plays the part of a defense attorney who opposes Pankaj’s claim. While Amit had previously produced the 2010 movie Road to Sangam, which had key roles for Paresh Rawal, Om Puri, and Pawan Malhotra.
