"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' actress has performed a special song with the ace choreographer-director in a film. Its a Janmashtmi number.

The other songs in 'Oh My God' are soulful, said Akshay, who has produced the film as well.

"There is no dancing and singing behind the trees. The film has wonderful music. There are meaningful songs," he said.

 

Based on a Gujarati play, 'Kanji Viruddh Kanji', the film 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 message in the film that will hit the audience," Akshay said.

As this is the 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 play a modern-day God, riding a golden bike.

"My look is kept modern as I have to move with everybody and with time. When God comes he does not show his identity. He is a normal God wearing normal clothes," he said. (MORE)
