Rani Mukerji is reportedly set to join OMG 3 (Oh My God 3), starring Akshay Kumar. The news has quickly grabbed attention online. If confirmed, this will bring two of Hindi cinema’s most iconic stars together once again. Fans from the 1990s era are especially excited about the pairing.
According to the latest report, Rani Mukerji’s entry is expected to raise the emotional depth and overall scale of the third instalment. The Oh My God franchise already enjoys a loyal fan base. The expectations of fans will definitely go up even more with her entry.
A source close to the project called it a major casting move. The source said to Pinkvilla, “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 joining the film. Her presence will add immense gravitas and freshness to the narrative.”
The insider said Akshay Kumar wants the third film to be bigger in every way, with a stronger story, emotions and performances.
Has Rani Mukerji Replaced Yami Gautam In Akshay Kumar Starrer OMG 3?
Well, there is no official clarity on whether Rani Mukerji has replaced Yami Gautam or joined the film in a completely new role. Yami’s involvement in OMG 3 has not been confirmed so far.
In OMG 2, Yami Gautam played Advocate Kamini Maheshwari. Her character was calm, sharp, and confident. She represented the opposing side in the courtroom drama against Pankaj Tripathi’s character, Kanti Sharan Mudgal. The clash of ideas helped explore sensitive topics around sex education in schools. Many viewers felt her role added balance to the story.
As of now, it remains unclear if Yami will return for the third instalment. Fans will have to wait for an official update from the makers.
While Rani Mukerji’s reported casting has created buzz, social media discussions have taken another turn. Several Reddit users feel that OMG 3 needs Paresh Rawal more than any other actor.
Many fans still consider the first Oh My God as the strongest film in the franchise. Paresh Rawal’s performance as Kanji Lalji Mehta is often credited as the soul of the original.
Here’s what some users had to say:
“Well, I hope it’s as good as the last 2.”
“OMG 2 was underwhelming. I just loved OMG first part. If Paresh Rawal isn’t coming back, I don’t think people would watch it.”
“Story was good, Pankaj Tripathi was okayish, but still far behind the OMG 1.”
“Only the first omg was good.”
“Part 2 was so boring, not even 10% as good as the first one.”
“Bas karo yar.. kitna nichodoge ek hi theme ko.”
OMG 3 Set To Go On Floors In Mid 2026
Oh My God 3 (OMG 3) is currently in the pre-production stage. The film is expected to go on floors by mid-2026. Director Amit Rai, who directed OMG 2, is reportedly returning with a new and more ambitious story.
Another source shared, “Director Amit Rai has cracked a story that is bigger, more relevant and hard-hitting than the earlier films. Akshay was clear that OMG 3 had to scale up in every aspect. Rani coming on board has made the film even bigger.”
Over the years, the Oh My God franchise has built a strong identity. It mixes humour with sharp social commentary. Both earlier films sparked debate and did well at the box office.
With casting rumours already making noise, an official announcement from the makers is now eagerly awaited.
