After OMG 2 entered the 100-crore club, director Amit Rai told news agency PTI, “We are happy people have loved the film. The intent of the film was pure. Nobody wanted to titillate the audience, hence they liked it. We have dealt with it (the story) in a way that doesn't sound vulgar. We talk about the reality but in a sweet and humorous way.” OMG 2 also stars Yami Gautam in a pivotal role.
Meanwhile, Akshay Kumar will be next seen in Bade Miyan Chote Miyan. The film, directed by Ali Abbas Zafar, also stars Tiger Shroff.
