A dreadlocks-sporting Akshay Kumar emerges from the Ganga as a messenger of Lord Shiva to come to the aid of his devotee Pankaj Tripathi’s fight to seek justice in the OMG 2 trailer, dropped by Viacom18 Studios on Thursday.
The three-minute-12-second-long trailer begins with the message that Akshay is not playing Lord Shiva but only a messenger of the god. Then we get to see how Kanti Sharan Mudgal (Pankaj), a devotee of Lord Shiva, suffers social humiliation after his son does something in school which results in his expulsion, shattering the youngster’s confidence and leading to a mental breakdown.
Kanti goes to the court of law to seek justice for his son from the school that humiliated him. He goes on to represent himself in the courtroom against the school’s seasoned lawyer, played by Yami Gautam. We see Akshay Kumar emerging from the Ganga to help Mudgal in his fight after Lord Shiva orders him to do so. A high-energy Har Har Mahadev chant echoes in the background throughout the trailer.
