Rumours about a possible collaboration between Rani Mukerji and Akshay Kumar in the third installment of the popular franchise OMG 3 have been circulating online. However, the latest reports suggest that the actress is currently not attached to the project.
Nearly three years after the release of Oh My God 2, Akshay Kumar is expected to return to the satirical drama series with a fresh storyline. The film is reportedly being developed once again with director Amit Rai and is expected to explore themes rooted in Hindu mythology. Industry reports indicate that the film may begin production around mid-2026.
Is Rani Mukerji part of OMG 3?
Speculation earlier suggested that Rani Mukerji would join the franchise as the female lead. According to reports, the actor was approached by the makers and was given a brief narration of the story.
Sources cited by media reports claim that she expressed interest after hearing the initial outline. However, discussions did not move beyond the early stage, and no formal agreement was finalised. As a result, the actor is not currently part of the project, which is tentatively titled Oh My Goddess.
Fans who were excited about seeing Akshay Kumar and Rani Mukerji share screen space again may have to wait for another project.
