Akshay Kumar’s portrayal of Lord Shiva in the film has been appreciated by many fans. The teaser gives a glimpse into Askay Kumar’s character in the film and earlier many were apprehensive of the movie entering into a row over the poor portrayal of Hindu mythological characters following the recent Adipurush controversy.
However, fans were impressed with his look and especially his entry where he emerges from a pond donning dreadlocks like Lord Shiva.
One fan wrote, “What an amazing teaser, Goosebumps on every entry of @akshaykumar as Lord Shiv and what a bgm #OMG2 #OMG2InTheatresAug11.”
“10/10 GOOSEBUMPS #AkshayKumar #OMG2Teaser #OMG2,” another fan exclaimed on Twitter.

Even film critics are appreciating Akshay Kumar’s look in the teaser.
“A lot will be said and heard about #OMG2 teaser in the next few hours. However, for me what has stood out the most is the sheer dignity and grace with which #AkshayKumar has portrayed #LordShiva. You need the right kind of serenity to go while portraying a much-revered GOD and after playing #LordKrishna, @akshaykumar has got it so right again,” tweeted film critic Joginder Tuteja.
