Akshay Kumar is reportedly set to portray a divine character once again in OMG 3, marking his third appearance as God in the popular socially driven franchise. The upcoming film is also expected to bring together Akshay Kumar and Rani Mukerji on screen for the first time, according to industry reports.
The project is being helmed by OMG 2 director Amit Rai, who is currently completing his next film before moving on to the third instalment of the OMG series.
What Happened?
According to reports, OMG 3 is in early development and will feature Akshay Kumar returning to a divine role, following his portrayals of Lord Krishna in OMG! Oh My God (2012) and Lord Shiva in OMG 2 (2023).
The same reports suggest that Rani Mukerji has been approached to play the female lead, setting the stage for a first-ever collaboration between the two actors — a pairing that has long intrigued audiences despite both having extensive careers in Hindi cinema.

As of now, no official announcement has been made by the makers or the actors involved regarding casting or timelines. The information currently circulating is based on industry sources familiar with the project’s development.
The production team is expected to share formal details once the film enters active pre-production.
