Paresh Rawal who’s been a crucial and one of the core attractions of the previous part of OMG, rejected the sequel due monetary issues, as per reports. “Oh My God 2.” The film, which garnered significant acclaim for its unique storyline and the comic timing of Rawal and co-star Akshay Kumar in the original, left fans eagerly awaiting their reunion. However, to the dismay of many, Rawal’s departure from the project has left a void that will now be filled by the versatile actor Pankaj Tripathi.
According to reports from News 18, the decision came as a result of a monetary dispute between Paresh Rawal and the production team.

Nevertheless, the inclusion of the talented Pankaj Tripathi as the new lead actor injects a fresh energy into the sequel, adding to the anticipation surrounding the film.
As production moves forward with the revamped cast, fans eagerly await further updates on “Oh My God 2” and the unique direction it will take under Pankaj Tripathi’s capable stewardship.
