OMG 2 ran into trouble when the CBFC expressed their concerns about some scenes and dialogues in the movie. As reported, the board has suggested 27 modifications to the film along with 13 mins of censorship throughout. More cuts were suggested for the movie to be granted a U/A certificate, but the makers did not want to compromise on content and settled for an 'A' certificate deeming the film to be fit to be viewed by an 18+ audience only.
