Paresh Rawal has recently claimed that the story of Akshay Kumar-starrer OMG 2 was originally an idea he developed alongside director Amit Rai. The veteran actor further alleged that the project changed after Akshay Kumar got onboard, prompting him to distance himself. He also claimed that he was not given any credit for the story or concept in the finished film.

Paresh Rawal says OMG 2 was his story

Speaking to Vickey Lalwani, Paresh recalled that he approached Amit Rai with the initial concept. “I had approached Amit Rai, the director of Road to Sangam, and asked him if he was planning another film. I admire him a lot. I told him, ‘I have an idea. Let’s sit and write it.’ I told him I wasn’t a writer, but I could contribute ideas and help identify where we were going wrong because I understand screenplay to some extent," he said.
