O’Romeo, the highly awaited Bollywood action thriller and revenge romance blend, is scheduled for release in cinemas on February 13, 2026—exactly a day before Valentine’s Day. The movie, helmed by director Vishal Bhardwaj, marks the fourth time they have worked together, following the successful films Kaminey, Haider, and Rangoon.
O’Romeo draws from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet but tells the story of fated lovers and their tragic demise in the sin-ridden mohallas of post-independence Mumbai’s underworld. Kapoor plays the role of Romeo, or Haseen Ustara, the fierce and unpredictable thief whose tattooed, cowboy-like appearance grabs attention from the very first moment. The teaser, which was dropped on January 10, 2026, is truly heart-pounding, offering insight into this milieu and showcasing the change in Shahid, while hinting at madness, love, and revenge.

Kapoor is supported by an incredible cast, including Triptii Dimri as the lead, Nana Patekar, Vikrant Massey, Avinash Tiwary, Disha Patani, and Tamannaah Bhatia in a special role. The interplay and friction of the actors are expected to give a powerful dimension to the film’s emotions.
Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment initiated production of the movie, and O’Romeo’s first-look teaser—a bloody, grinning Shahid Kapoor —was presented on January 9, 2026, establishing a terrifying atmosphere for the movie. The release date, previously set for December 2025, has been moved to the Valentine’s Day weekend, given that we now know the movie’s hook is a romantic tale with a vindictive twist. O’Romeo is set to be one of the most-discussed films of 2026, thanks to its entrancing promo and star-studded cast.
