Shahid Kapoor and Vishal Bhardwaj have previously worked together on three films—Kaminey, Haider, and Rangoon—all of which are among their most celebrated collaborations. Known for intense storytelling, layered characters, and bold narratives, their partnership has raised expectations for O Romeo to be another strong addition to their filmography.

About O Romeo:

O Romeo is described as a modern, dark reimagining inspired by Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, set against a gritty and violent backdrop. The film explores themes of love, obsession, rage, and betrayal, following Shahid’s character as he navigates a world consumed by brutality and emotional turmoil. The film features Triptii Dimri as the female lead. Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, O Romeo promises a blend of stylised violence, poetic storytelling, and haunting music—hallmarks of the filmmaker’s signature style.
