O Romeo cast
Vikrant Massey and Tamannaah Bhatia join Shahid Kapoor, Triptii Dimri, and Nana Patekar in O Romeo directed by Vishal Bharadwaj.
Produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under the esteemed banner of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, O Romeo is set to release on 13th February 2026, targeting the Valentine's Day release.
The film is being produced on a massive scale, with Bharadwaj recreating Spain in Mumbai for the shoot.
Helmed by acclaimed filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj, O Romeo marks his much-anticipated reunion with Shahid Kapoor, an actor who has consistently delivered some of his most compelling performances under Bhardwaj's nuanced and distinctive direction. Shahid and Vishal's collaborations are marked by their shared commitment to complex characters and themes of moral ambiguity, grief, and psychological struggle. Their 4th project together, after Kaminey, Haider, and Rangoon, O Romeo has set strong expectations for a narrative driven by depth, craft, and performance.
Further strengthening the film's eclectic cast with the inclusion of stalwarts Tamannah Bhatia and Vikrant Massey, whose presence adds both freshness, gravitas and grandeur to the project. As per media reports, O Romeo will also feature a formidable ensemble cast comprising the legendary Nana Patekar, Triptii Dimri, Avinash Tiwary, Tamannaah Bhatia, Disha Patani, along with several other notable names, making it a truly ensemble-led project.
In October, the movie wrapped up with a grand and high-voltage climax sequence featuring Kapoor and Avinash Tiwary. The film, which went on floors in January, completed its final leg of shooting last week at Bahubali Studios in Borivali.
Sources close to the production revealed that the intense face-off, a duel between the two actors, was filmed over two days. "They wrapped the close-up shots [of the] duel. The primary shots were done in Spain. Vishal sir wanted the finale to feel explosive, so the team recreated a realistic environment inside the studio, giving him total control over lighting and stunts."
The stunt-heavy climax involved practical combat choreography, wirework, and controlled explosions. Tiwary, who plays the antagonist, reportedly underwent rigorous physical preparation for the fight sequence. A member of the stunt team shared, "Both actors rehearsed it for a few days to get the rhythm right." Apparently, Bhardwaj wanted to shoot this final piece discreetly in Mumbai. "Only the core crew and action unit were on set," said the informer.
