Overview
- This week Paresh Rawal said he originated the core idea for the film OMG 2 and that he was not credited for the story or concept after leaving the project.
- Producer Ashwin Varde issued a public rebuttal calling Rawal’s claims untrue and said Wakaoo Films legally acquired the script that is registered to Amit Rai.
- Director-writer Amit Rai has affirmed he wrote the screenplay and cited a Screenwriters Association certificate that bears his name.
- Varde accused Rawal of attempting to develop an OMG-like project without proper approvals and said Rawal received payment and producer credit through associates.
- No legal action has been reported and the dispute highlights tensions between informal idea-sharing and formal protections such as script registration and producer acquisition.
