Social comedy film 'Oh My God' starring Paresh Rawal and Akshay Kumar was a sensational hit at the time of its release. Few months ago, it's was announced that a sequel is in development. However, the sequel won't feature Paresh Rawal in the lead and he'll be replaced by Pankaj Tripathi who is much more relevant to the current audience. The project was supposed to go on floors by this summer but Covid-19 lockdown didn't let that happen.

A source close to the development shared, "Oh My God 2 will feature Pankaj Tripathi as the lead character alongside Akshay Kumar, who gets back to play his role from the first part. The discussions have been going on for quite some time with Pankaj and everything is now locked."

The project is expected to go on floors in September if the situation allows it and it'll wrap up in two months. The source added, "The pre-production work has begun with a team working in isolation to explore the probable locations of shoot, and also deciding on designing the sets in the city. The film will be wrapped up in one go by the month of October."
