Bollywood’s popular socially driven franchise Oh My God is preparing for a major comeback, and fresh updates surrounding the third installment have heightened audience anticipation. According to industry reports, Oh My God 3 may feature Rani Mukerji in a leading role alongside Akshay Kumar.
If confirmed, the film will mark the first-ever on-screen pairing of Akshay Kumar and Rani Mukerji, a collaboration that has already generated significant buzz within the film industry.
As per a report by Pinkvilla, Oh My God 3 is currently in the pre-production stage, with plans to begin principal photography in May 2026. The film is expected to be directed by Amit Rai, who previously helmed Oh My God 2 and received praise for handling socially relevant themes with sensitivity and impact.
Sources close to the project suggest that the third installment will explore larger, more contemporary, and emotionally layered social issues. While entertainment remains central, the makers are reportedly focused on delivering a narrative that raises important societal questions. Akshay Kumar has consistently emphasized that the franchise should evolve in scale—emotionally, narratively, and in performance.
Rani Mukerji’s potential involvement is expected to add depth and gravitas to the project. Known for her strong, content-driven roles, Mukerji’s presence could bring a fresh perspective to the franchise. Industry insiders believe that the dynamic between Akshay Kumar and Rani Mukerji will offer audiences something new and compelling.
The Oh My God franchise has carved a unique space in Hindi cinema. The first film addressed the divide between faith and blind belief, while the second installment focused on social conditioning and moral dilemmas. Expectations are high that Oh My God 3 will continue this tradition with a thought-provoking yet engaging storyline.
