OMG 2 talks about s*x education, receives ‘Adults-only’ certification from CBFC

The upcoming Akshay Kumar movie OMG 2 has run into difficulties after it was revealed that it addresses the issue of sex education in Indian schools.

According to reports, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has refused to grant a U/A certificate and has suggested 15-20 changes to the movie, which also stars Pankaj Tripathi.

As per a report in an entertainment portal, a source close to CBFC revealed the reason behind these cuts. “While OMG 2 speaks about sex education on the face of it, there is a major conflict in the film that deals with masturbation. While it’s an extremely brave subject and tackled with the utmost sensitivity, the CBFC feels that the religious angle could hurt the sentiments of the Indian audience,” said the source.

Mahesh Sharma, a priest of the Mahakaleshwar temple, told a news outlet, “The censor board has given ‘A’ certificate to the film ‘Oh My God 2’. This certification is reserved for films that have adult content. We demand that some scenes, which were filmed at the Mahakal temple, be removed as they might offend the religious sentiments of viewers.”

“If our demand isn’t met, we will launch protests across the country,” Sharma added.
