Director Umesh Shukla says a sequel to the hit 2012 comedy "OMG - Oh My God!" is on the cards and the team has already started working on it.

The satirical comedy-drama, based on a Gujarati stage-play, starred Paresh Rawal as an atheist who sues God after an earthquake destroys his antique shop. The film, which explored the themes of religion and superstition, also had Akshay Kumar play modern-day Lord Krishna.

Post the success of the film, the work on the sequel was on since 2015.

When asked about the status of the sequel, Umesh told PTI, "We are working on it. We have found a germ of the idea too, but it will take some time to finish it. It is an interesting idea. It will be challenging to take the story ahead."
"The script is with me right now, but I haven't focused on that yet because I was working on '102 Not Out'. Once I am done with the film, I will sit with my writers and see how it goes."
