Overwhelmed with the positive response and BO business that the film has garnered, Akshay Kumar on Thursday not only expressed gratitude to moviegoers but also wished success for Sunny Deol starrer.
Akshay wrote, "A big thank you to our audiences for all the love for #OhMyGadar and giving us the greatest week in Indian Film History!

Along with this caption, he posted a video showcasing a montage of the positive reviews and box office numbers of OMG 2. The audio featured Akshay singing Gadar 2's popular song 'Udd Jaa Kaale Kaava'
