Oh My God is entertaining, not preachy: Akshay Kumar

Sep 13, 2012

Mumbai: Actress Sonakshi Sinha will be seen grooving to item song ‘Go Go Govinda’ for Akshay Kumar starrer ‘Oh My God’ and the ‘Khiladi’ feels that the number can be described as a marketing gimmick.

“I think yes one can say this. It can be a marketing gimmick. There is somebody performing a song during Gokul Ashtami. We requested Prabhu Deva and Sonakshi to do it and they agreed,” Akshay told PTI.

It is for the first time that the ‘Dabangg’ star has performed a special song with the ace choreographer-director in a film. Its a Janmashtmi number.

“There is no dancing and singing behind the trees. The film has wonderful music. There are meaningful songs,” he said. The film, based on a Gujarati play, ‘Kanji Viruddh Kanji’ has been directed by Umesh Shukla and is a ‘divine’ comedy.

“I was surprised when I saw the play. I would want everybody to see the film. It is not a preachy movie. It is a fun and entertaining film but yet there is a layer in the film that will hit the audience,” Akshay said.

As its his maiden film coming from his new production house Grazing Goat Pictures’, the 45-year-old actor is very excited about it.

The film will see him playing the role of modern-day God, riding a golden bike. “My look is kept modern as I have to move with everybody.. have to move with time. When God comes he will not show his identity. He is a normal God wearing normal clothes,” he said.
