O’Romeo will hit theatres on February 13, 2026.
Sajid Nadiadwala’s O’Romeo continues to build strong anticipation as the film releases in theatres tomorrow, February 13. On the eve of its release, director Vishal Bhardwaj took to social media to share a deeply emotional and heartfelt note about the film. He expressed immense pride in the journey even before the critics speak and the box office delivers its verdict.
Vishal Bhardwaj thanked his entire team and called them his “real heroes,” acknowledging their unwavering dedication and belief in his vision. Sharing his thoughts, he wrote: “Before the critics speak and before the box office delivers its verdict, I feel compelled to share how deeply proud I am of this film. Before the accolades or the criticism arrive, I must thank, from the deepest part of my being, all my HODs who gave far more than was ever asked of them – their vision, their integrity, their sweat, their blood, and their unconditional commitment to my vision.”
“My real heroes: Mustafa Stationwala, Faramarz Wankadia, Ben Bernhard, Meghdeep Bose, Aarif Sheikh, Maxima Basu, Dani Del Rosario, Vikram Dahiya, Ankur Chaudhary, Yash Darji, Shantanu Yennemadi, Krutika Jain, Mukesh Chhabra, Makarand Surte, Justin Jose, Samir Zaidi, Konstantin Minnich, Saurabh Goswami and ‘Anl’ Arasu. Also, my most loving associate, Abhay Datt Sharma – who shared my love, pain, frustration, and both my reasonable and unreasonable whims – and my creative producer, Priti Shahani. I will not make another film without her,” the director added.
Bhardwaj further warned everyone of violence in Shahid Kapoor-starrer and continued by saying, “Through this film, I have realized the immense capacity I hold for love and for violence – together. Looking back at my body of work, l see a recurring theme I wasn’t even conscious of: revenge. And at sixty, I am only now beginning to understand it.”
“There is so much hatred, violence, and injustice in society — and I often feel powerless against it. It wounds me deeply. This pent-up anguish needed release. In O’Romeo, through my protagonist, I slash throats, split skulls, and blow the brains of the monsters I cannot confront in real life,” he stated.
“Opposite this violence stands an equally intense force — love. A love born from a lifetime of encounters with beautiful, sensitive souls who have shaped me. A love that did not let me drown. A love that pulled me out of the pool of blood. I am in love with this specie called human — forever torn between two extreme emotions. O’Romeo is the manifestation of these polarities,” the filmmaker wrote.
Produced by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, the Mumbai-set gangster drama is based on Hussain Zaidi’s book Mafia Queens of Mumbai. The trailer and songs, including Paan Ki Dukaan and Ashikon Ki Colony, have generated strong buzz. O’Romeo releases on February 13 and will clash at the box office with Shanaya Kapoor and Adarsh Gorav’s Tu Yaa Main.
