This was just another glimpse of Akshay as lord Shiva in OMG 2. All this while, his look in the film with dreadlocks has stoked major anticipation among the viewers. It should be noted that OMG (2012) saw Akshay playing the role of lord Krishna.

OMG 2 to depart from religious theme?

The prequel of OMG 2 titled OMG, revolved around an atheist man (played by Paresh Rawal) who decides to take legal action against God. However, his faith is restored when Lord Krishna (played by Akshay Kumar) assists him in exposing fraudulent individuals.

In OMG 2, Akshay Kumar returns in a different avatar and will portray lord Shiva. The sequel will touch upon the subject of sex education, as per reports.
