The New Year 2026 just got happier with the reports of Akshay Kumar and Rani Mukerji teaming up for Amit Rai’s Oh My God 3. For the first time in the history of Indian cinema, the iconic ’90s duo is going to pair up. The third installment of the OMG franchise is expected to hit the theatres mid-year. Not to forget, the film is among the most-loved projects of Akshay Kumar.
The earlier installments of the franchise have consistently been entertaining while also addressing important and often overlooked social issues. The first film, released in 2012, and the second part in 2023 both focused on sensitive themes like blind faith and sex education. The upcoming third installment starring Rani Mukerji and Akshay Kumar is expected to delve deeper into these topics and explore even more challenging territory.

According to a close source, Akshay Kumar and Rani Mukerji’s pair is one of the biggest castings. The much-loved franchise is on its way to getting bigger with Rani Mukerji joining the film. Her inescapable presence will not only add gravitas but also freshness to the whole plot.
Currently, the comedy drama is in the pre-production stage and ready to take off with a relevant and hard-hitting theme. Whether it is story, emotions, or performances, the Rani-Akshay pair is surely taking up the buzz a notch. Following the massive success of OMG and OMG 2, movie buffs and fans are eagerly awaiting an official announcement from the makers.
In 2012’s Oh My God, Paresh Rawal starred as an atheist who sues God after his shop is destroyed in an earthquake. Akshay Kumar essayed the role of Lord Krishna while the movie became a critical and commercial success. On the other hand, OMG 2 touched on topics like the importance of sex education. It starred Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam, with Akshay reprising his role as a divine messenger. This sequel was too widely appreciated for its bold and socially relevant narratives.
Known for bringing thought-provoking stories into the spotlight, director Amit Rai has carved out a distinct path in Hindi cinema. The news of Rani Mukerji joining Akshay Kumar’s OMG universe has amplified the audience’s excitement and curiosity. Now, all that they await is the official statement from the makers, unveiling the release date of the anticipated film.
