Akshay Kumar's film "OMG 2" is facing disappointing advance booking, possibly staying out of his top 10 all-time openers.
The sequel to "OMG – Oh My God!", directed by Amit Rai, boasts a cast featuring Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam in pivotal roles. Despite its potential and the success of its predecessor, the film "OMG 2" finds itself embroiled in various controversies, though unlike previous instances, these controversies have failed to generate significant buzz. Curiously, the movie has lacked promotional efforts, raising the stakes for its success solely on the response it receives from the audience during its first-day first show.
At the time of its announcement, "OMG 2" appeared to be a promising project, riding on the goodwill established by its predecessor. Even amid its clash with another film, Gadar 2, Akshay Kumar's involvement led many to believe that he would emerge as the clear victor due to Gadar 2's seeming lack of threat. However, the situation has taken a dramatic turn since then, with the film's prospects now looking grim. In fact, it's even plausible that "OMG 2" might struggle to achieve double-digit figures in terms of its opening day box office collections.
