All about 'O Romeo'

'O Romeo', featuring Shahid Kapoor in the lead role, also includes Triptii Dimri, Nana Patekar, Avinash Tiwary, Tamannaah Bhatia, Disha Patani, Farida Jalal, and Vikrant Massey, in key roles.

Prior to the release, Vishal Bharadwaj penned a heartfelt note for the team. The filmmaker also reflected on how the film is more than just an actioner. “Through this film, I have realized the immense capacity I hold for love and for violence - together. Looking back at my body of work, I see a recurring theme I wasn't even conscious of: revenge. And at sixty, I am only now beginning to understand it. There is so much hatred, violence, and injustice in society and I often feel powerless against it. It wounds me deeply. This pent-up anguish needed release.”

The director further added. “In O'Romeo, through my protagonist, I slash throats, split skulls, and blow the brains of the monsters I cannot confront in real life. Opposite this violence stands an equally intense force - love. A love born from a lifetime of encounters with beautiful, sensitive souls who have shaped me. A love that did not let me drown. A love that pulled me out of the pool of blood. I am in love with this specie called human- forever torn between two extreme emotions. O'Romeo is the manifestation of these polarities.”Get the latest entertainment updates from the Times of India, along with the latest Hindi movies, upcoming Hindi movies in 2026 , and Telugu movies.”
