Actor Paresh Rawal recently made some shocking claims alleging that the idea of OMG 2 was originally his and that he wasn't given credit for the same. The veteran actor further alleged that he did not want to make the film as OMG 2 and hence did not want Akshay Kumar to join the project. When asked how it reached Akshay, the actor said that it probably reached him through producer Ashwin Varde, who was present at one of the early discussions. Now, the producer has broken his silence on the matter.
