Akshay Kumar has treated fans to a glimpse of his Lord Shiva avatar from his upcoming film OMG 2. Along with the sneak peek, the actor announced that OMG 2’s teaser will be released on Tuesday, July 11 at 11 am. Directed by Amit Rai, OMG 2 has successfully created hype amongst moviegoers, especially after OMG, starring Akshay Kumar and Paresh Rawal in lead roles struck a chord with the masses. Amid the excitement surrounding OMG 2, an old statement by Akshay Kumar on religion has once again resurfaced on social media.
Akshay Kumar says there is only one religion
During a promotional outing of the 2021 action drama Sooryavanshi, Akshay Kumar made a diplomatic remark on the concept of religion. In an interview, he opined that he does not believe in religion. According to him, there was only one religion, which is “being an Indian.” The actor further asserted that his film Sooryavanshi followed a similar sentiment.
Akshay Kumar’s statement on religion
“I don’t believe in any religion. I only believe in being Indian and that is what the film also shows. The idea of being an Indian and not about being a Parsi or a Hindu or a Muslim, we haven’t looked at it on the basis of the religion,” Akshay Kumar was quoted saying in an interaction with PTI. With the release of OMG 2’s first look, fans have hoped that the film does not hurt religious sentiments, especially after the Adipurush debacle.
