Akshay Kumar, Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam's OMG 2 is witnessing steady growth at the box office despite stiff competition from the Gadar 2 wave. The docudrama revolving around sex education received an 'Adults Only' certification after going through the CBFC scanner. Akshay, who is one of the highest-paid stars in India at present, apparently didn't charge a single rupee for OMG 2. 

Ajit Andhare, the COO of Viacom18, said in an interview with PinkVilla that Akshay didn't only forgo his fees but also stood by the makers with respect to the financial and creative risks. He further reacted to reports of OMG 2 being made on a heavy budget. "The reports of the budget of OMG2 are grossly exaggerated. On the contrary, Akshay didn't charge a rupee in fee and in fact, walked alongside us in both the financial & creative risk involved in such a courageous film," Ajit said.
