'OMG 2' director Amit Rai says CBFC's 'A' rating certificate ‘killed’ the film’s audience

'OMG 2' director Amit Rai says CBFC's 'A' rating certificate ‘killed’ the film’s audience

Akshay Kumar starrer ‘OMG 2’ director Amit Rai has said that it was because Central Board for Film Certification CBFC gave the film an ‘A’ rating that the film couldn’t perform well on the box office.

Rai believes that an ‘A’ rating from CBFC kept his target audience, the families, away from the cinema halls. In an interview with DNA, he said, “If it wasn’t an A-certificate film, then maybe it would have been neck and neck with Gadar 2, minting money at the box office because families would have come for it.”

Rai said the 'A' rating killed half of his audience but now he wants the ‘bygones be bygones’. “The censor board hurt me financially too and in terms of content as well.” There were around 27 changes suggested by the CBFC for the film.

Rai also shared that he sent many messages to CBFC Chief Prasoon Joshi as well but his requests were not heard. “I remember clearly that I folded my hands. I told them that you are doing the wrong thing because if this film goes on OTT…” he told Bollywood Hungama.

‘OMG 2’ tells the story of a father and son who have to battle the social taboos so that the teenagers can learn about sex education.
