The 'Oh My God' cinematic universe is gearing up for its biggest expansion yet, and it involves a monumental casting coup that is set to fulfill a decades-long wish for Bollywood fans. Acclaimed actress Rani Mukerji has allegedly joined the cast of the third instalment of the blockbuster franchise, 'OMG 3', alongside superstar Akshay Kumar. What makes this collaboration truly historic is the fact that this project marks the first time these two iconic '90s stars will share the screen in a feature film.

 A High-Stakes Casting Coup for a Bigger Franchise

According to sources close to the production, OMG 3 is being conceptualized as far more than a typical sequel; it is being planned as a high-stakes, socially relevant cinematic event. The news of Rani Mukerji’s inclusion has significantly amplified the anticipation surrounding the project.

A source shared with the media, “This is easily one of the biggest castings in recent years. Oh My God is among Akshay Kumar’s most loved franchises, and it’s only getting bigger with Rani Mukerji joining the film. Her presence will add immense gravitas and freshness to the narrative.” Rani, known for her powerful and versatile performances in films that often carry a strong social message, is expected to bring a compelling new dimension to the satirical drama.

OMG Gets Bigger, Better, and More Relevant

The highly anticipated film will see Akshay Kumar reunite with director Amit Rai, who successfully steered OMG 2 to both commercial acclaim and critical appreciation for its bold stance on sex education. Following the precedents set by its predecessors, which tackled themes like blind faith (OMG) and societal taboos (OMG 2), OMG 3 is reportedly aiming to push the envelope even further by exploring a subject that is bigger, more relevant, and hard-hitting.

The creative team is committed to ensuring that the third part lives up to—and potentially surpasses—the massive legacy of the previous films. The source added that Akshay Kumar was clear that the franchise needed to scale up in every aspect, from the core story and emotional depth to the performances. Rani's addition to the cast is seen as the perfect move to elevate the entire project to that desired level.

Currently in the pre-production stage, the film is expected to commence shooting by mid-2026. The unique pairing of two powerhouse performers, combined with Director Amit Rai’s knack for weaving social commentary into mainstream entertainment, firmly establishes OMG 3 as one of the most awaited films currently in development. Fans are already buzzing with excitement over what social issue this 'golden era' duo will tackle next.
