Paresh Rawal’s Contribution to ‘OMG’ and the Franchise Dispute
Sources close to Paresh Rawal have emphasized his immense contribution to the original OMG: Oh My God! film. They revealed that the movie was inspired by a play that Rawal had performed for years and was developed by him from the ground up. He had brought Akshay Kumar on board based on trust and respect.
