Govind Namdeo slams CBFC 

Govind Namdeo plays the role of Pujari in the OMG franchise. The actor took to his Facebook handle on Thursday and expressed his disappointment on CBFC giving OMG 2 Adults only certificate. He wrote, “OMG, O MY GOD (OMG 2) is released finally with 24 Censor cuts and senseless A certificate so that teenagers should not see the movie for whom the movie is made And Censor has passed it !”

Govind went on to compare it to Adipurush and stated this kind of censorship should have been done with the Prabhas starrer. The actor added, "Jo dimaag Censor Board ko Adipurush jaisi behuda film ko censor karne mein lagana chahiye tha who unhone OMG 2 jaisi thoughtful-progressive film ko kaatne-kootne mein kharch kar diya. (The kind of thought the Censor Board should have applied to censor a ‘disgusting’ film like Adipurush, they applied it to a thoughtful and progressive film like OMG 2)."

Then, he asked the CBFC to reconsider its decision and change the certification to U/A since OMG 2 is developed for and geared towards teens and focuses on the controversial issue of sex education.
