The Oh My God franchise has established itself as one of mainstream Hindi cinema’s most impactful socially driven series. The 2012 original addressed blind faith and religious commercialization, while OMG 2 (2023) tackled the sensitive subject of sex education in Indian schools, earning both critical acclaim and audience engagement.

Rani Mukerji’s reported inclusion aligns with her recent career choices, which have leaned towards content-driven, socially relevant cinema. Her participation would also mark a rare mainstream pairing that audiences have never seen before, adding freshness to the franchise.
