Refuting speculations that actress Sonakshi Sinha, who will be seen in a special song in upcoming flick OMG Oh My God! has landed a small role in the film due to actor-producer Akshay Kumar, producers of the movie said that Sinha does not have a role in the film.
A spokesperson from the production house was quoted saying that though Sinha will be seen n a special song go Govinda alongwith Prabhu Deva in the film, the actress does not have a role as such in the film. A few weeks back, actor Paresh Rawal had also claimed that the story of the film is such that it does not need a female lead as such.
Starring Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal, this light-hearted film, produced by Grazing Goat Productions, Viacom 18 and S. Spice, is about a cynical atheist Kanjibhai (Paresh Rawal), who files a case against God, compelling Lord Krishna (Akshay Kumar) to make an appearance to defend himself against the charges leveled against him.

All those who have seen the trailers of upcoming film OMG Oh My God! are sure to have chuckled at seeing Mithun Chakraborty, Poonam Jhavar and Govind Namdeo playing the stereotypical godmen (or women, in Poonam's case).
However, what many might not know is that director Umesh Shukla actually made these actors watch spiritual channels to get a feel of how godmen talk and behave in real life. Confirming the news, director Umesh Shukla said that he wanted actors Mithun, Poonam and Govind to observe the mannerisms of such godmen and spiritual talkers so that it could help them with their roles.
Starring Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal, OMG Oh My God! is a satire on religious superstitions and rituals and this flick, which is produced by Grazing Goat Productions, Viacom 18 and S. Spice is slated to release on September 28, 2012.

It is a well known fact that actress Sonakshi Sinha, who was last seen opposite Akshay Kumar in 'Rowdy Rathore', had been roped in for a dance number with Prabhu Deva in Akshay's next flick 'OMG Oh My God!'.
However, what many might not know is that Sinha has recently managed to land a small role in the film too, all thanks to her 'Rowdy' co-star Akki! Sources claim that Sinha requested Akshay to let her perform a few scenes in the movie too a she was impressed with the way the movie has turned out and gracious gent that he is, Akki, who is also the co-producer of the movie, agreed to do so.
This might definitely come as a surprise to many, specially after Paresh Rawal's recent comments that 'OMG Oh My God!' is the kind of film that does not require a heroine. Wonder what Mr. Rawal has to to say about these recent developments now…

OMG Oh My God is the upcoming venture of Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal which has music by Himesh Reshammiya and a guest composition by Anjjan-Meet Brothers. It is interesting to see a different side of Himesh as he brings on some soulful music that is mainly about the almighty and His magic. Himesh's unique work makes it quite exclusive from the league of other contemporary soundtracks.
The album begins with the track Don't Worry (Hey Ram) in the vocals of Benny Dayal and Himesh Reshammiya. The background music adds a pinch of masti from the evergreen track Dum Maaro Dum [Hare Rama Hare Krishna]. The two tracks cannot be compared and are poles apart as this one is a pleasant experimentthat adds up a flavor of carefree life which is well penned with a mix of English words by Subrat Sinha. A modern avatar of prayer offerings, this one is a huge winner in the making.
The 'remix version' of this track is close to the original track with a mix of high note beats making it all the more vociferous. This version will certainly be able to enhance the splendor of discs and clubs.
Master of Sufi Kailash Kher adds rainbow of beautiful vocals in the track Mere Nishaan. This one is a soft track with a pleasant chorus in the background given by Anjjan - Meet Brothers. Lyricist Kumaar deserves an acknowledgement for his magnificent piece of work as he successfully brings to fore the predicament of the God who is helping today's thankless human beings. The musicalarrangements by guest composers Anjjan Meet - Brothers are really beautiful and aptly sketch the theme of the movie. It is an extremely mesmerizing number which would really do well in the movie.
Tu Hi Tu is a solo track sung by Mohd Irfan. This track begins with a gripping flute that catches up on beats gradually and paces on a fast track with high notes. This number very magnificently and rightly explains the presence andexistence of almighty within human heart. Himesh's composition is really appealing with a touch of rock element infused in it that will certainly grasp attention of the young listeners. Sameer's lyrics are good as always though the 'reprise version' is quite similar to the original with hardly any innovation to the original.
The 'unplugged' is a pliable edition which takes off with soft beats and is carried forward with a soulful play of flute, violin and piano, hence turning out to be immensely mesmerizing. This one is even better than the previous two adaptations of the same track, including the 'remix version' and invites one to close eyes and feel the presence of almighty around.
Go Go Govinda begins on high notes while skillfully using the shrill beats of drums to spice it up with the amazing vocals of Mika Singh and Shreya Ghoshal. Both artists have really complemented each other well which is also a strong forte of this already hit track. Theflow of enthusiasm in this track reminds of magic, masti and thrill of Janamashtmi and its Dahi Handi. Musical arrangements from Himesh are pleasant and exciting that really go well with the Govinda theme. Lyrics by Shabbir Ahmed are simple and straightforward, hence making the song all the more enjoyable. Ditto for the 'reprise' version which has Aman Trikha coming behind the mike.
Next to arrive is Hari Bol which is a solo composition in the vocals of Kirti Sagathia. This number is a folk based composition by Sachin-Jigar who have optimally utilized various shades of traditional Gujarati music. Altogether it is a nice experiment by the composer duo with Swanand Kirkire's lyrics going very well with the theme of this track.
The album is carried ahead with Oh My God (sound Track), a short enchantment of almighty lord by Zubeen Garg. Track is a pleasant gift for mind and soul that will make you sway in desire of God. Soul play of Flute is a rare gift which comes with the next track Krishna Theme. This is a magnificent classical jugalbandi of flute which also has a very soothing effect on the soul. A rare treat to enjoy!
Overall the album is an unusual experiment in itself with an already good response for Go Go Govinda. With rest of the songs making this score all the more rich and soulful lyrics adding on to the overall appeal, OMG Oh My God is indeed one of the memorable albums in the offering from Himesh.

The upcoming film OMG Oh My God!, directed by Umesh Shukla, is based on a popular play entitled Kishan vs Kanhaiya. Actor Paresh Rawal, who will be seen playing Kanjibhai in the film, is also the protagonist in this play. Kishan vs Kanhaiya was staged at the Rang Sharda auditorium at Bandra yesterday.

However, it was a pleasant surprise to see veteran actor and politician Shatrughan Sinha along with his daughter Sonakshi Sinha at the auditorium. Akshay Kumar also accompanied the father-daughter jodi for the play. While Sonakshi Sinha has done a guest appearance in the song Go Go Govinda, along with Prabhu Deva for the film, Akshay, apart from being the co-producer, will be seen playing God in it.

It is a well known fact that upcoming flick OMG Oh My God! is the film adaptation of acclaimed play Kishan v/s Kanhaiya but actor Paresh Rawal, who will be seen playing a cynical atheist in the film, claims that the movie is quite different from the play in a lot of ways.
In an interview, Paresh Rawal was quoted saying that a lot of changes were made to the film and that people will be surprised with the new interpretation and the new scenes in the film, which are not there in the play. Rawal also added that they did a lot of things (like adding songs) in the film, which they couldn't do in the play, because of which, the film is almost 60-70% different from the play.
Starring Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal, the Umesh Shukla directed OMG Oh My God! is a humorous story about an atheist, who files a case against God.

Actor Akshay Kumar has two big-ticket films up for release, Joker and OMG Oh My God!. The actor is making sure that he puts in all efforts for his look and character in both the films, especially the latter.
A source revealed that OMG Oh My God! is a special film for Akshay, as he is not only acting in the film, but producing it as well.
Although, Akshay is co-producing Joker as well, he is making sure that OMG Oh My God! gets a smooth sailing as well. Hence, not only has the actor taken personal interest in the different sections of the production, but has designed his look for the film as well.
Considering Akshay plays the role of God in the film, he designed his own wardrobe and assembled some clothes and came up with this new look. The best part is that he actually wears clothes from his own wardrobe.
OMG Oh My God!, starring Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal and Mithun Chakraborty, is set to release on September 28.

Way back in 2008, Aamir Khan had got the ushers of a multiplex chain to sport the Ghajini look to promote his upcoming film, during the release of Shah Rukh Khan's film Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. This time, it's Akshay Kumar who will be piggybacking on the super success of his contemporary Salman Khan's Ek Tha Tiger, to promote his upcoming production venture OMG Oh My God!. The makers of the film have adopted a unique marketing strategy of placing donation boxes - similar to the ones you see in temples - at two multiplexes in the city. The boxes read - 'Have you bribed God today?'
Vikram Malhotra, COO, Viacom18 Motion Pictures explains: "OMG is a film with mass appeal. It is for people who believe in God and those who don't. So we decided to engage the audience in a manner that is thought-provoking. We placed these daan petis (donation boxes) so that people can go back with the message - 'Aren't you really bribing God to get a wish fulfilled?' A wish could range from good exam scores to college admissions to marriages. Donation and prayers are offered with an objective rather than solely out of devotion. That is one of the things that the film addresses."
The boxes have received coins, notes from young girls looking for grooms and also notes from youngsters reading 'You cannot bribe God for anything'. The makers are excited by this response in city multiplexes and now plan to take the promotions to a national level. Malhotra adds, "We'll spread it across 15 cities and 80 properties and focus on multiplex chains that attract youth.”

Actor Akshay Kumar, who was last seen in South remake Rowdy Rathore, had wooed actress Sonakshi Sinha with his roguish charms in the movie. However, it seems that in his next film Naam Hai Boss, which is the remake of Malayalam flick Pokkiri Raja, Akshay won't be having a leading lady to woo.
A source attached to the film revealed that the story of the film is such that it does not require a strong female lead and taking this in consideration, the makers decided to not rope in any actress opposite the Khiladi. The movie will be directed by Anthony D'Souza, who had earlier directed adventure film Blue, which had also starred Akshay Kumar.
The source also added that this would be Akshay's first film, in which he will not have a leading lady opposite him. Akshay Kumar will be also be seen playing the role of Lord Krishna in upcoming film OMG Oh My God!, which stars Paresh Rawal and Mithun Chakraborty.

We had reported a few days back that actor Akshay Kumar, who will be seen playing the role of Lord Krishna in OMG Oh My God! had quit his non vegetarian diet after his mother urged him to turn to vegetarianism as long as he was working on the film. Now, it seems that our Khiladi has gone one step ahead to better understand his character.
Sources claim that at the behest of his mother, Akshay Kumar started reading the Bhagwad Gita, which is considered to be a holy text for Hindus, as Akki's mother felt that it was quite important for him to read the holy book if he was going to play the role of Krishna in the film. Being the good son that he is, our 'Rowdy' actor complied and went through the Gita.
Based on an acclaimed Hindi play Kishan v/s Kanhaiya, OMG Oh My God! is a story about a cynical atheist played by Paresh Rawal, who files a case against God for the loss suffered by him after his shop is destroyed due to a natural calamity.
