Akshay Kumar’s 2025 Film Lineup and OMG 3 Developments
Akshay Kumar kicked off 2025 with Kesari Chapter 2, starring alongside R. Madhavan and Ananya Panday. Recently, he wrapped up shooting Bhoot Bangla, a horror-comedy directed by Priyadarshan. A song sequence featuring Akshay and Wamiqa Gabbi was shot in Kerala over three days, with a sneak peek shared on social media.
Interestingly, Amit Rai, director of OMG 2, joined Akshay on set. According to sources, the two had extensive brainstorming sessions about the upcoming OMG 3. Amit Rai shared multiple story ideas and discussed new narrative directions with Akshay during the shoot. The team is committed to continuing the beloved franchise but is taking its time to develop a strong script.
The plan is to start filming OMG 3 in the latter half of 2026, depending on when the final draft is locked. The makers are cautious about rushing the project, given the high expectations after the success of OMG and OMG 2.
Apart from OMG 3, Akshay has Housefull 5 scheduled for release later this year. He is also set to begin work on Priyadarshan’s next thriller, co-starring Saif Ali Khan, starting August 2025.
