OMG 2‘s ‘A’ Certification has been a topic of much discussion.
The Akshay Kumar-Pankaj Tripathi starrer was an honest, refreshing and groundbreaking film which had a nuanced conversation about breaking taboos against sex education in India.
But given its ‘A’ certificate, ironically, people who are its intended target audience may not end up watching the film. As per Bollywood Hungama, OMG 2 star Aarush Varma, who plays the character of Pankaj Tripathi’s son, has filed a petition for removal of this ‘A’ certification!
In his petition, Aarush revealed that even as young teens, they didn’t feel uncomfortable shooting about the subject matter. He felt that the film was relevant to young 16-year-old kids and urged the public to sign the petition so that the film’s certification can be modified to U/A.
Read Aarush Varma’s Petition –
“The entire purpose of making this film as much as I know from my director Amit Rai Sir was to open discussions on the need of Sex Education but unfortunately the film itself has become a subject of discussion with being given an A certificate. We were so many kids in the film and we never felt uncomfortable shooting the film. It is a film meant for children my age and also parents who are uncomfortable talking about sex education.
This film could have been an eye-opener. Being a 16-year-old, I know the issues we face and there are so many things for which we do not find the right answer. I urge all of you to help me sign this petition so that the government reviews the stand of A certificate and makes it U/A so that all my friends can see it.”
Even Akshay Kumar was of the opinion that the film should be seen by teenagers. He commented – “This is the first adult film which is made for teenagers. This should be shown in schools.”
