Akshay Kumar’s OMG 2 is running packed houses despite a huge challenge from Gadar 2. Although Pankaj Tripathi is the male lead, since Akki is the only big superstar in the movie, it is his star power that has drawn the audience to the theaters. The movie is dedicated to a genuine cause and although has been given an 'A certificate' many Akkiians are demanding that the movie should get a U or U/A certificate.
Over the years, Khiladi Kumar has done several movies that gave a strong social message. While he has continued doing his usual comedy and action movies, Akshay has also focused his attention on doing movies that promote strong moral values or suggest and support a positive change in society.
