While the discussions around the concept of 'OMG 2' were continuing, Paresh Rawal gave his views on Akshay Kumar. He stated that there is no issue with Akshay Kumar for him. Previously, it was claimed by Ashwin Varde who is a film producer that Rawal had wanted to kick Akshay Kumar out during the making of 'OMG'. Paresh Rawal has now clarified this point.

Veteran actor Paresh Rawal told 'Hindustan Times', "Akshay and I are doing 'Bhagam Bhag 2' next, which is Ashwin's [Varde] film. There is also 'Bhoot Bangla'. I really don't have any problem with Akshay Kumar. Why would I have a dispute with him?"

Rawal acknowledged that Akshay Kumar had tried to convince him to do 'OMG 2'. However, he had told Kumar that involving deities in a film dealing with sexuality would not be appropriate. He said, "But he went ahead with it; the film was successful, and I am happy. My point remains the same: that script did not require the presence of God."
