Just a month ahead of its theatrical debut, the team behind O’Romeo has revealed the striking first look of Shahid Kapoor in Vishal Bhardwaj’s latest directorial venture. Supported by the creative Sajid Nadiadwala, this film also features the talented Triptii Dimri, promising audiences a one-of-a-kind cinematic journey. Shahid’s fierce and bloodied appearance in the initial teaser suggests a character that is intriguingly menacing yet quirky, perfectly setting the stage for the depth, drama, and passion that O’Romeo aims to deliver.
In this poster, Shahid Kapoor embodies intensity and raw emotion, hinting at a multifaceted role that will challenge and engage viewers. Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, the film is set to hit theaters on February 13, 2026, just in time for Valentine’s Day. This marks another exciting collaboration between Shahid and Vishal, who have previously worked together on acclaimed projects.
Their partnership has flourished over the years, with O’Romeo being their fourth film together, following the successes of Kaminey, Haider, and Rangoon. Their journey began with Kaminey, where Shahid’s portrayal of contrasting twin brothers showcased his versatility and Vishal’s knack for weaving dark humor with gritty realism.
In 2014, they reunited for Haider, a poignant adaptation of Shakespeare’s Hamlet set against the backdrop of Kashmir, where Shahid delivered a haunting performance that earned him widespread praise. Their collaborations are characterized by a mutual dedication to exploring complex characters and intricate themes of moral ambiguity and psychological struggle. With Vishal’s layered storytelling complementing Shahid’s depth and vulnerability, they have consistently pushed the boundaries of mainstream cinema.
Produced by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, O’Romeo is poised to be a compelling addition to their filmography, set for release this Valentine’s Week.
