Big question: Will the uncut version be released on OTT?
OMG 2 received an 'A'—Adults Only—certificate from the censor board, accompanied by 27 cuts. In an interview with PTI in August, Rai stated that the film would be available on OTT without any cuts. However, it remains to be seen whether the audience will get to experience the uncut version, considering that some films have had extended versions released on OTT in the past.
Visuals of nudity, mention of alcohol: What was modified?
CBFC's list of modifications included replacing visuals of frontal nudity with suitable images of Naga Sadhus and removing a poster of a condom ad from the film. A scene in which Pankaj Tripathi's character inquires about "unnatural sex" with a sex worker was modified. CBFC also suggested that Kumar's character be portrayed as a messenger of Lord Shiva rather than Lord Shiva himself.
