Among the many actors present in the film, the trailer had a blink-and-miss appearance by veteran actor Arun Govil, and it did not go unnoticed by netizens.

As per the trailer, Govil will be seen playing the principal of the school where Pankaj's son will be shown studying.

Interestingly, Govil is known for playing the role of Lord Ram in Ramanand Sagar's cult Ramayan, which used to air on television in the late 80s.

OMG 2 vs Censor Board tussle

Meanwhile, 'OMG 2', directed by Amit Rai, has been granted an 'Adults Only' certificate by the Censor Board.

The film sheds light on sex education in Indian schools, and the CBFC felt that the topic, when clashed with Akshay's Lord Shiva angle, might hurt religious sentiments, and create an uproar in the country.

Akshay's character has now been changed from Lord Shiva to that of a messenger of Lord Shiva.

As many as 25 cuts have been made in the film after it was stuck with the Censor Board for nearly two weeks.

'OMG 2' is slated to hit the cinemas on August 11, 2023.
