Yami Gautam reacts to OMG 2 success despite getting ‘A’ certification, calls Akshay Kumar-starrer ‘first of a kind’.
Akshay Kumar, Yami Gautam, and Pankaj Tripathi-starrer made headlines even before its release. Despite getting ‘A’ certificate and clashing with Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2, the film is having a successful box office run. Reacting to the film’s success, the actress expressed her happiness.
In a recent interview with Hindustan Times, Yami Gautam expressed her happiness about OMG 2 success and also reacted to Akshay Kumar’s statement that it is the first Adult certification film which is meant for teenagers and said, “10 years back, if I just told you one line about Vicky Donor, some eyebrows would definitely be raised, but it became a family film. It was a U/A certificate film 10 years back! OMG2 has even more important concepts.”
She further added, “I feel the context in which an A certificate is used is very vast. The audience saw right through our intentions, I am very happy for our director Amit Rai because he is such a huge devotee of Shiv ji. There was no mal intention behind making this film. The audience and theatres are saying it more than anyone else, that we wish we could show it to teens, it’s a first of a kind. I don’t know what lies in the future, but I wish it was open to the targeted audience. Maybe parents can come back home and share. I am just thankful that despite everything, the audience has embraced it and truly understood the intent of the film.”
Helmed by Amit Rai, OMG 2 stars Akshay Kumar, Yami Gautam and Pankaj Tripathi, Arun Govil, and Govind Namdev among others. The movie marks Yami’s comeback to the big screen after 4 years. The movie gives a strong message about sex education and the performances of the cast have been well appreciated by the audience.
Released on August 11, OMG 2 clashed with Sunny Deol’s Gadar 2 and despite having ‘A’ certification, the movie managed to collect Rs 99.30 crore at the box office in five days and is still running strong at the box office.
