Vishal Bhardwaj recreates a mini Spain in Mumbai for shotting climax of O Romeo

Shahid Kapoor and Avinash Tiwary

It's been a while since Shahid Kapoor set hearts racing in a Vishal Bhardwaj film. Now, the duo is back with O Romeo - their fourth collaboration after Kaminey (2009), Haider (2014), and Rangoon (2017). The movie recently wrapped up with a 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 reveal 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."

Tiwary, who plays the antagonist, reportedly underwent rigorous physical preparation for the fight sequence. The stunt-heavy climax involved practical combat choreography, wirework, and controlled explosions. 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 an informer.
