O Romeo: Actor Shahid Kapoor has officially kicked off the promotional campaign for his upcoming film O’Romeo by unveiling its striking first-look poster on January 9. Along with the reveal, the actor announced that the film’s teaser will be released on January 10, adding to the growing anticipation. O’Romeo marks Shahid Kapoor’s much-awaited reunion with filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj, nearly a decade after their 2017 collaboration Rangoon.
Poster Hints At Dark, Gangster-Driven Narrative
The first-look poster presents Shahid in a raw and intense avatar. He is seen screaming, with blood smeared across his face and his body covered in tattoos, signalling a gritty, gangster-themed storyline. The edgy visual suggests a dramatic departure from his recent roles.
Sharing the poster on Instagram, Shahid confirmed that the film will release during Valentine’s Week, hitting theatres on February 13, 2026. In his caption, he invited fans to “catch a peek into the world of O’Romeo,” while also confirming that the teaser arrives tomorrow.
Fans Reaction
Soon after the poster dropped, fans flooded social media with enthusiastic reactions. Many praised Shahid’s transformation, while others expressed excitement about his reunion with Vishal Bhardwaj.
Comments ranged from calling the look “insane” to predicting “something legendary” whenever the actor-director duo collaborates, highlighting the high expectations surrounding the project.
