Pankaj Tripathi, who plays the main role of Kanti Sharan Mudgal, has broken his silence on the rumors surrounding the film. The social drama, which also features Yami Gautam as a lawyer, has garnered attention for its LGBTQ storyline and has faced criticism from some quarters for supposedly insulting the Hindu community.

The Controversy Surrounding OMG 2
OMG 2 has been surrounded by controversy since its inception, with rumors suggesting a plot centered on a gay student who tragically dies after facing social ostracization. According to the reports, the divine figure of Mahadev then descends to spread the message that love transcends gender.

These rumors sparked heated debates and drew criticisms from certain segments of society, including concerns about the portrayal of Hindu deities in a non-traditional context.
The film’s subject matter prompted the CBFC to initiate a review, requesting the filmmakers to reconsider some aspects before granting certification. This move comes after the CBFC faced public backlash for perceived leniency towards Adipurush, another film that encountered controversy over its dialogues and storyline.

In an interview with Zoom TV, Tripathi urged the audience not to believe unverified claims about the movie.
