What happens

Oh My God! is a 2012 Indian Hindi-language satirical comedy drama film written and directed by Umesh Shukla and produced by Viacom 18 Motion Pictures, S Spice Studios, Grazing Goat Pictures, and Playtime Creations. The storyline is based on the Gujarati stage-play Kanji Virudh Kanji, itself inspired by the Australian film The Man Who Sued God. The film stars Akshay Kumar, Paresh Rawal and Mithun Chakraborty in leading roles, with Om Puri, Govind Namdev, Poonam Jhawer, Puja Gupta, and Mahesh Manjrekar in supporting roles. Made on a budget of ₹20 crore (US$2.1 million), the film was released on 28 September 2012 and received positive reviews from critics. It was remade in Telugu as Gopala Gopala (2015) with Venkatesh, Pawan Kalyan, and Shriya Saran. It was also remade in Kannada as Mukunda Murari (2016) with Upendra and Sudeep. A spiritual successor, OMG 2, written and directed by Amit Rai and again starring Kumar, was released in August 2023; despite Rawal not returning to play the leading role and being replaced by Pankaj Tripathi, his wife Swaroop was associated with the sequel as a producer.
