Director Amit Rai has addressed Paresh Rawal’s claim that he should receive story credit for the film OMG 2, explaining why the actor waited three years to raise the issue.
Paresh Rawal, a veteran actor, recently asserted that he deserved story credit for the film OMG 2, a project directed by Amit Rai. Rawal said his input during early development was significant but was not reflected in the official credits.
In a statement, Rai acknowledged Rawal’s involvement but clarified that the story credit was awarded to the credited writers. He added that Rawal’s role was that of a consultant rather than a scriptwriter.
Rawal explained that he waited three years before making the claim to allow the film to establish itself and to avoid jeopardising its release. He said he had been patient and hoped for a fair resolution.
The episode has reignited discussions in Bollywood about proper attribution of creative contributions. No legal action has been announced by either party.
