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.

Various known personalities attended the staging of the play. 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.

OMG Oh My God!, starring Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal and Mithun Chakraborty, is about Kanji Mehta (Paresh Rawal), an atheist, who sues God because an earthquake destroys his antique shop. Amidst his legal tussles, he runs into Krishna Vasudev Yadav (played by Akshay Kumar), a man who claims to be God.

What follows is a journey of epic proportions, of self-realization and legal masterstrokes.

The film is set to release on September 28.

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.

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.”

Arshad Warsi and Paresh Rawal's latest Amrit Sagar film ran into a lot of trouble recently. The cast and the crew had to face some rather unexpected visitors during the shoot.

A source from the film revealed that they were shooting a wedding sequence in Delhi in extreme weather conditions, when suddenly a troop of monkeys invaded their sets. It turned out to be quite a scary situation for the unit.

The monkeys also bit some of the crew members. And by the time the rest of the shoot wrapped up, most of the team members remained terrified of the monkeys.
