Actor Akshay Kumar has finally reacted to the Censor Board of Film Certification (CBFC) giving 'Adults Only' certification to his latest film OMG 2. Starring Pankaj Tripathi and Yami Gautam, the film courted controversy for its plot revolving around sex education in Indian schools.
The film hit theatres on August 11 and it has been well received by the audiences. Days after its release, Akshay expressed his disappointment with the certification and said the film is for teenagers.
The makers shared a video in which the actor is seen promoting the film at a theatre in Mumbai. After the film's screening, he thanked the audience for the love and support.
Taking a sly dig at the CBFC, Akshay then said, "Kamaal ki baat bataon, pehli adult film hai jo teenagers ke liye bani hai." He also said that the film should be screened in schools.
