The kind of objections the Censor Board had about the film ‘Oh My God 2’ based on faith and sex education and the way the board proposed to give the film an ‘A’ certificate with more than 20 changes and cuts in front of the makers It seemed to him that the film would not be able to release on its scheduled date i.e. 11th August. The cuts, changes and ‘A’ certificate suggestions given by the censors to the makers were not going well. But with more than 20 changes, ‘Oh My God 2’ has finally been given an ‘A’ certificate, which has now been reluctantly accepted by the makers, paving the way for the film’s release on August 11. It has become clear. Let us now tell you what kind of changes have been made in ‘Oh My God 2’.

The biggest objection of the censor board was that the character of Akshay Kumar has been presented as Lord Shiva in the film and the subject of the film is sex education. In such a situation, the feelings of the audience watching the film can be hurt. Now due to the instructions of the censor board, the character of Akshay Kumar has been changed. In the film, he will now be shown as a messenger of Shiva and a devotee of Shiva, and not as Lord Shiva himself. Along with this, dialogue has also been added in the film which is as follows, “Nandi mere bhakt… jo agya prabhu”.

Now let us also know that what other major changes have been made by the censor board in ‘Oh My God 2’.

– At one place the messenger of Lord Shiva has been shown drunk, who also speaks a special kind of dialogue during this. Necessary changes have been made in both this scene and the dialogue.

-The scenes of frontal nudity in the film have been removed and replaced with scenes of Naga Sadhus.

– Lines related to an objectionable announcement addressed to women in the temple have been changed everywhere.

The story of the film is set in Ujjain, the city of Mahakal and the story of the film is fictional which talks about the importance of sex education. In such a situation, the censor board has ordered the makers to change the name of the real name of the place in the film to a fictional name.

Wherever the name of the school is shown, it has been changed to ‘Savodaya’.

– Words like whiskey, rum have been used for offering alcohol as prasad to God. By removing these, the dialogue has been changed to ‘Wahan Madeira Chadhe Hai…’.

-Instead of using the word ‘Linga’ independently in the film, the censor board has ordered the use of words like ‘Shivling’ or ‘Shiva’.

Neither Akshay Kumar nor the makers of ‘Oh My God 2’ have issued any statement regarding the changes made by the censor board. Well, in the next one or two days the makers are said to release the trailer of the film and with this the promotion of the film will begin in full swing so that when the film releases on August 11, the audience will know. That this film is being released in theatres.

It is worth noting that the makers of ‘Oh My God 2’ wanted to get the film a U/A certificate without any cuts and changes, which the censor board flatly refused. In such a situation, the makers have agreed to take the ‘A’ certificate given to the film along with all the changes made by the censors in lieu of major changes and major cuts in the film due to the U/A certificate.
