After 5 Missed & Shelved Films Over 3 Decades, Akshay Kumar & Rani Mukerji Finally Unite For OMG 3 –

Akshay Kumar & Rani Mukerji Finally Unite For OMG 3:

For nearly three decades, Akshay Kumar and Rani Mukerji remained one of Bollywood’s most intriguing “almost” pairings. Despite being among the most successful stars of the late 1990s and 2000s, the two never shared screen space—until now. Their long-awaited collaboration in OMG 3 brings closure to a story shaped by missed opportunities, shelved projects and changing career paths.

Industry buzz from the late 1990s suggests that Akshay and Rani were once signed for a film titled Mulaqat in 1997. The project, however, was shelved before it could take off, quietly becoming part of Bollywood’s long list of unrealised films. As the years passed, several mainstream projects reportedly came close to pairing them again but never materialised.

Rani Mukerji was said to have been considered for films like Bhool Bhulaiyaa, Heyy Babyy and Awara Paagal Deewana, all of which eventually moved forward with different actresses. While none of these casting changes were officially explained in detail, they contributed to the growing perception that fate kept the Akshay–Rani combination just out of reach.

Later, industry chatter suggested that Akshay Kumar declined Dil Bole Hadippa!, further extending the gap between the two stars. Whether coincidence or timing, the collaboration continued to elude them.

Now, after five films that could have brought them together and a gap of nearly 30 years, Akshay Kumar and Rani Mukerji are finally sharing the screen in OMG 3. For fans and film watchers alike, it’s not just a casting choice—it’s the end of a long-running Bollywood “what if.”
