Interestingly, OMG 2 director Amit Rai had also accompanied Akshay Kumar to the shoot.
A close source told Pinkvilla, "Amit Rai had multiple ideas for OMG 3 (Oh My God 3), and he discussed all the plot points with Akshay Kumar throughout the stay. The duo brainstormed on all the ideas and also discussed possible new routes that could be taken in OMG 3. The intent is to continue with the most loved franchise, and take the third part on floors in 2026."
The source further revealed that the the jamming session between Akshay and Amit Rai went very well, the next step is for the director to now come up with a solid draft.
The source added, "Following the success of OMG and OMG 2, the stakes are high and the makers are keen to make a third part. It is a big responsibility, and hence, they are in no hurry to just rush through the process of OMG 3."
While the schedule to begin the shoot for OMG 3 depends on how long it takes to lock in the script, OMG 3 is most likely to go on floors in the latter half of 2026.
