Rani Mukerji and Akshay Kumar to share screen for the first time in OMG 3
After years of friendship off-screen, Rani Mukerji and Akshay Kumar are reportedly set to make their long‑awaited film debut together. Director Amit Rai has roped both stars for the next instalment of the OMG franchise — OMG 3 — marking a first-time on-screen pairing that has already set fans buzzing.
A rare pairing: friendship turns into a film collaboration
Rani and Akshay have remained close friends in real life, but despite crossing paths at many industry events, they have never acted opposite each other in a film. That changes with OMG 3, which brings together Rani’s gravitas and Akshay’s comic timing and mass appeal. The combination promises interesting chemistry that audiences have been eager to see.
Akshay returns as a divine character
Akshay Kumar has become synonymous with the divine roles in the OMG series. In the franchise’s first outing, OMG! Oh My God (2012), he played Lord Krishna, and in OMG 2 (2023) he portrayed Lord Shiva. Reports suggest he will don a godly avatar again for part 3, continuing the franchise’s blend of satire, social commentary and humour.
Where Amit Rai is before OMG 3
Director Amit Rai is currently focused on completing his film Dharma, which he shot in Bihar. The project features strong talents like Pankaj Tripathi and Pavan Malhotra, while casting newcomers in lead roles. Unusually, the film also reportedly includes around two hundred dogs — a detail that has piqued curiosity about the film’s scale and concept.
When will OMG 3 begin?
Once Dharma is wrapped and ready for release, Amit Rai is expected to jump straight into work on OMG 3 with Rani and Akshay. Production timelines are yet to be announced, and the makers have not revealed casting details or a release window. Fans will likely have to wait for official confirmations and first looks.
What to expect from this collaboration
- Fresh on-screen dynamic: Rani’s acting intensity combined with Akshay’s versatility could give the franchise a new flavour.
- Franchise tone: The OMG films mix social satire with emotional beats, so expect a blend of humour and message-driven storytelling.
- High interest: Their first collaboration will naturally attract attention from audiences and media alike, raising expectations for a memorable cinematic moment.
For now, details remain sparse, but the announcement that Rani Mukerji and Akshay Kumar will finally share screen space in Amit Rai’s OMG 3 is enough to spark excitement. As more information comes out about casting, plot and schedule, fans will be watching closely for updates on this intriguing new chapter in the OMG series.
