Bollywood actor Pankaj Tripathi, whose film OMG 2 received an adult certificate before its release, has asked the censor board to reconsider its decision to certify the film.
Before the release of OMG 2, Akshay Kumar and Pankaj’s film received an ‘A’ certificate, which meant that only people above a certain age were allowed to watch the film. The 12-17 year old audience was limited to watch it.
The Censor Board’s move left the Ludo actor extremely upset, as the target audience was not allowed to watch the film.
So now the actor has expressed his feelings on this and wants the board to reconsider its decision.
He said, as translated by India Today, “I definitely think they should reconsider. The message should reach the age group it is intended to cater to. Collection is only one aspect. The most important thing is to get the message across. It is meant to cater to the age group. I would like to convey through this that the CBFC should reconsider its decision.”
“I was disappointed with the certification,” said Pankaj.
OMG 2 is a sequel to the 2012 film OMG starring Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam.
