    Well, in a recent chat with Spotboye, Pankaj was asked about the film. The actor was quoted saying, “It is really too early to say anything about this film. Having said this, I must say an artiste cannot live and function in the near of a backlash. Risk toh aapko leni padegi. If you want to achieve success in your field, you have to leave the safe zone.” For the uninitiated, several organizations had protested against OMG: Oh My God when it released and had claimed that the film made derogatory references to Hindu gods.
