OMG! The Legal Drama Unfolds: Digital18 Claims Franchise Rights

In a plot twist worthy of a Bollywood screenplay, Digital18 Media Private Limited has stepped into the limelight with a public notice that asserts its claim over the ever-charming OMG (Oh My God) franchise. This revelation, published in Atul Mohan’s Complete Cinema on January 10, 2026, has sent shockwaves through the industry. It cautions all creative souls against the temptation to develop, market, or produce sequels or spin-offs of OMG 2 (2023) without the golden nod from Digital18.

But why the sudden burst of legal fireworks, you ask? Well, hold onto your popcorn! It turns out that Digital18 is the rightful heir to the creative empire of Viacom18 Media, following a court-approved arrangement that took effect on November 14, 2024. This legal change is crucial; it establishes Digital18 as the co-proprietor of all derivative rights stemming from OMG 2, including that oh-so-valuable goodwill, brand essence, and public connection.

The notice is a thunderous warning, a clarion call to “all persons and entities” threatening to encroach upon their turf. Any attempt-be it a whisper or a grand announcement-regarding a sequel or any related project sans Digital18’s explicit go-ahead constitutes an infringement, pure and simple! And let’s not overlook the sharp-edged language; any mischievously similar title or promotional material could spell misrepresentation and lead to a chilling dilution of proprietary rights.

Now, why all this legal finery? Gossip from the grapevine suggests the storm may have been fueled by whispers of a new project, OMG 3, charmingly titled Oh My Goddess. Early reports indicate that this tantalizing project is set to bring the charismatic duo of Akshay Kumar and Rani Mukerji back together. The catch? Akshay, beloved in his extended cameo role akin to his turn in OMG 2, seems poised for another unforgettable appearance.

Just yesterday, the ever-reliable Bollywood Hungama previewed Oh My Goddess hitting the floors in February 2026. Could these revelations be the reason behind Digital18’s need to firmly plant its flag? One can only speculate, but the intrigue around ownership rights has definitely reached fever pitch.

The notice ends with a clear, no-nonsense declaration: Any unauthorized sequel or any branding that dances dangerously close to the OMG franchise will be treated as a direct affront under the law. So, aspiring filmmakers, consider this your fair warning!

As we dive deeper into this unfolding saga, it’s clear that the world of cinema is as fickle as it is thrilling. With stars like Akshay Kumar and Rani Mukerji involved, we can only hypothesize how this legal melodrama will play out. Will the audience get their much-anticipated sequel, or will this legal tussle cast a shadow over the eagerly awaited Oh My Goddess?
