The Oh My God franchise is gearing up for its third instalment, and it comes with a major casting development. Bollywood star Akshay Kumar is set to return as the face of Oh My God 3, with Rani Mukerji reportedly joining the project — marking the first on-screen collaboration between the two acclaimed actors.
Following the success of Oh My God 2, director Amit Rai is expected to return to helm the third chapter. The filmmaker is said to be working closely with the writing team to ensure the film stays true to the franchise’s core ethos — combining sharp social commentary with mainstream storytelling.
Speaking to Pinkvilla, a source close to the development shared, “This is easily one of the biggest castings in recent years. Oh My God is among Akshay Kumar’s most loved franchises, and it’s only getting bigger with Rani Mukerji coming on board. Her presence adds immense gravitas and a fresh dimension to the narrative.”
The source further revealed that the film is currently in the pre-production stage and is expected to go on floors by mid-2026. “Amit Rai has cracked a story that is bigger, more relevant, and more hard-hitting than the previous instalments. Akshay was clear that OMG 3 needed to scale up on every front — from the story and emotions to the performances — and Rani’s involvement has elevated the project further,” the source added.
Despite being two of Hindi cinema’s most celebrated stars, Akshay Kumar and Rani Mukerji have never shared screen space before. Their collaboration in Oh My God 3 has already sparked strong buzz within trade circles, with industry watchers calling it one of the most exciting castings in recent times.
