Rani Mukerji Exits Akshay Kumar's OMG 3 Amid Creative Differences, New Lead Sought

Rani Mukerji was reportedly in early talks to join Akshay Kumar in the third installment of the Oh My God franchise, tentatively titled Oh My Goddess or OMG 3, as the lead protagonist. However, discussions did not progress beyond initial stages, with reports citing creative differences between Mukerji and director Amit Rai leading to her exit. Akshay Kumar attempted to mediate, but the parties parted ways. The film, co-produced by Viacom18 and Kumar, is in pre-production and expected to begin shooting by mid-2026, with makers now seeking a new female lead.
