While addressing the media, Shahid spoke about his gratitude for being part of O’Romeo and reflected on his long association with Vishal Bhardwaj’s cinema. The actor revealed that although the film marks their reunion after several years, it was producer Sajid Nadiadwala who initially approached him with the project. “I feel fortunate to be a part of his filmography. I’m thankful to him for calling me after seven-eight years of us not working together. But to be honest, I got the call from Sajid bhai and not Vishal sir. He said that this is a film I should have in my filmography. I would like to thank him for offering and bringing it to me,” Shahid said.

His candid admission prompted an instant and humorous reaction from Vishal Bhardwaj, who quipped, “Kyunki tumne mere message ke jawaab nahi diye the (Because you did not respond to my messages).” The filmmaker’s playful remark left everyone present in splits and highlighted the warm camaraderie shared by the team.

In O’Romeo, Shahid Kapoor will be seen portraying a complex and intriguing character named Ustara. The film is described as a romantic action thriller inspired by true events, blending intense drama with Vishal Bhardwaj’s signature storytelling style. The project is among Shahid’s most anticipated releases, with audiences keen to see him in a darker, layered role.

Sajid Nadiadwala presents O’Romeo, a film by Vishal Bhardwaj, produced under the banner of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. The film is based on Hussain Zaidi’s book Mafia Queens of Mumbai and boasts an ensemble cast including Triptii Dimri, Nana Patekar, Avinash Tiwary, Vikrant Massey, Tamannaah Bhatia, and Disha Patani.

O’Romeo is scheduled for a theatrical release on February 13, 2026. With its powerful trailer and the creative forces backing it, the film is already shaping up to be one of the most talked-about releases of the year.
