The Oh My God franchise is all set to get bigger and bolder, and the latest casting buzz has fans excited. As per industry chatter, OMG 3 may bring together Akshay Kumar and Rani Mukerji for the very first time—making it one of the most exciting cast combinations in recent Bollywood memory.
Sources suggest that the makers are mounting the third instalment as a major cinematic event, and casting is playing a key role in that vision. Akshay Kumar, who has been the face of the franchise since its beginning, is reportedly keen on taking OMG 3 several notches higher—both in scale and impact. Bringing Rani Mukerji on board is seen as a big step in that direction.
A source close to the project revealed that the idea was always to strengthen the film with performers who can add depth and emotional weight to the story. “Oh My God is among Akshay Kumar’s most loved franchises. For the third part, he wanted everything to feel bigger—especially the cast. Rani joining the film adds a new layer of gravitas and freshness,” the source shared.
Akshay is also expected to reunite with director Amit Rai, who previously helmed OMG 2 to critical and commercial success. While details about Akshay’s role are still under wraps, his association with socially driven films has made him a trusted name for content that balances message with mainstream appeal.
Rani Mukerji’s reported entry into the OMG universe has only increased curiosity. Her powerful screen presence and ability to carry intense narratives are expected to bring a new dynamic to the franchise.
Insiders say OMG 3 aims to push boundaries once again, following the bold themes explored in the previous films. With Akshay and Rani leading the cast, the makers believe the film will strike a deeper emotional chord with audiences. “With a more relevant and intense storyline, the film gains even more weight with two actors of such calibre coming together,” the source added.
The Oh My God franchise has built a unique identity in Hindi cinema by blending social commentary with mass entertainment. From Paresh Rawal’s iconic atheist in the first film to OMG 2’s thought-provoking take on sex education starring Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam, the series has consistently relied on strong performances.
The third instalment is in pre-production and is expected to start rolling by the middle of 2026. While an official confirmation is still awaited, the possibility of Akshay Kumar and Rani Mukerji sharing screen space for the first time has already made OMG 3 one of the most talked-about upcoming projects.
