Shahid Kapoor and Vishal Bharadwaj
Shahid Kapoor's upcoming film with Vishal Bharadwaj has finally got a title and release date. The film O' Romeo is set to debut in theatres on the day of love. The film will be released in theatres on February 14, 2026. Bollywood actor Shahid Kapoor has once again joined forces with filmmaker-producer Vishal Bhardwaj for the film, which also stars âAnimal' sensation Tripti Dimri.
The makers of the film took to their Instagram on Sunday, and shared the poster of the film announcing its release date. The poster features Shahid Kapoor wearing a cowboy hat, and looking down concealing his face with his hand. While sharing the poster, Bhardwaj wrote, "Aa raha hai⦠#ORomeo.. this Valentine's Day."
The film marks the 4th collaboration between Shahid Kapoor and the director after Kaminey, Haider, and Rangoon. It is a high-octane action thriller, and also stars Nana Patekar. It is shot in picturesque locations. The film is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment.
Shahid and Vishal's collaborations are marked by their shared commitment to complex characters and themes of moral ambiguity, grief, and psychological struggle. Vishal's dark, layered narratives perfectly complemented Shahid's ability to bring depth and vulnerability to intense roles. Together, they pushed mainstream cinema into exploring darker territories without compromising on entertainment value.
Their films are known not just for their storytelling, but for the courage to tackle sensitive subjects with artistic finesse and emotional authenticity. Their partnership remains one of the most compelling actor-director collaborations in contemporary Hindi cinema.
The thriller drama also stars Randeep Hooda, Vikrant Massey, and Farida Jalal in pivotal roles. The action-packed thriller was earlier speculated to be titled Arjun Ustara or Romeo. However, the speculations are put to rest now. It was also reported that the film might release on December 5, and it would have clashed with Dhurandhar.
On the work front, Shahid Kapoor has kickstarted shooting for Homi Adajania's Cocktail 2. The film also stars Rashmika Mandanna and Kriti Sanon in pivotal roles. When it comes to Triptii, she is all set to reunite with Sandeep Reddy Vanga for Spirit alongside Prabhas.
