The film, which released to positive reviews about three weeks back, has impressed audiences despite not being a typical Bollywood film, what with Paresh Rawal playing the central role and no lead actress. &#39;We knew from the very beginning that it&#39;s a word of mouth film.u00a0 <img alt="Akshay Kumar" src="http://images.mid-day.com/2012/oct/Akshay-Kumar_4.jpg" /> We had great confidence in the concept and the script. The pattern which the film has followed, what with weekdays doing even better than the higher priced weekend, is a pleasant surprise for us too,&#39; Akshay told PTI. While the film has received critical acclaim and Akshay&#39;s belief in the subject has paid off, some detractors had levied charges of blasphemy against it. &#39;Our message in the film is that of God in humanity. In today&#39;s world we are out to please God in every way while forgetting the very basis of humanity. The idea was to make the message reach the audience and the film&#39;s verdict proves that we have been successful in doing that,&#39; he said. Despite being the producer of the film, the 44-year-old star was seen in a minimal role in the film, leaving Paresh to play the central character and receive all the accolades. &#39;I do hope he leaves some awards for me. He is a thrilled man for sure,&#39; said Akshay. The film is an adaptation of Gujarati play &#39;Kanji Virudh Kanji&#39;. Akshay said he is all set to produce more such films in the near future. &#39;My new company Grazing Goat Pictures is doing just that. We should be coming with &#39;72 Miles&#39; next which is a Marathi film. It is already complete. &#39;We have short listed a couple of scripts already. After the release of &#39;OMG! - Oh My God&#39;, huge expectations have been built. We now have a lot of pressure to get all our next projects right to keep up the faith of the audience. We have a lot to live up to now,&#39; he said.u00a0
