Incidentally, Akshay played the role of Lord Krishna in the 2012 film, who disguises himself as a human to live with a non-believer (Paresh Rawal) and change his attitude towards life. Rawal plays Kanji Lalji Mehta, a middle-class Gujarati atheist who owns a shop of Hindu idols and antiques in Mumbai. He mocks religious activities around him until one day, a low-intensity earthquake hits the city, with Kanji's shop being the only one destroyed; his family and friends blame this on his atheism. After Kanji learns that the disaster claim does not cover any damage caused by natural calamities classified under "Act of God", he decides to sue God for the damages.
Soon after Akshay shared his look from OMG 2, Pankaj Tripathi also shared his on Instagram. Take a look:
