O Romeo Teaser has taken social media by storm after its release on January 10, 2026. Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, the film stars Shahid Kapoor in the lead and marks his fourth collaboration with the filmmaker after Kaminey, Haider and Rangoon. This time, the duo returns with a darker and more intense story that blends romance, revenge and raw emotion.
Read on to know what’s in the teaser video!
Shahid Kapoor’s O Romeo Teaser Out
Right from the opening moments, O Romeo teaser sets a grim and unsettling tone. Shahid Kapoor appears in a fierce and menacing avatar that is very different from his recent roles. His character (Romeo) is shown blood-soaked, screaming in anguish, with bold tattoos covering his chest and arms. These visuals signal a man driven by rage, heartbreak and obsession. Set against a striking red backdrop, the film looks like a gritty reworking of Romeo and Juliet, placed within the harsh world of Mumbai’s underworld.
The one-minute-and-35-second teaser hints at a story inspired by true events. It presents a revenge-driven romance rooted in unfulfilled love, where emotions quickly turn destructive. Shahid’s Romeo is seen in high-intensity scenes involving hand-to-hand combat, gunfire and emotional breakdowns, suggesting a journey filled with pain and irreversible choices.
While Shahid Kapoor commands most of the attention, the supporting cast also makes a strong impact. The teaser introduces Triptii Dimri as the female lead, along with Nana Patekar, Avinash Tiwary, Vikrant Massey, Tamannaah Bhatia and a reported cameo by Disha Patani. Veteran actors Aruna Irani and Farida Jalal appear briefly, but it is Farida Jalal who unexpectedly becomes a major talking point.
A short scene showing the veteran actress mouthing a cuss word left many viewers shocked and amused. The moment quickly went viral, with social media users sharing mixed reactions.
Read some online user comments to O Romeo teaser below:
“It started strong but ended kind of generic… Farida Jalal cussing was the highlight will wait for the next assets to drop.”
“To all those screaming about copying Gore and Gaalis, Vishal Bharadwaj ki khoobsurat filimon me gaaliyan tab se hai jab Aditya Dhar aur SRV struggle kar rhe the.”
“Never imagined Farida Jalal saying Chuti*a on screen..”
“Did I just hear Nani say “Chutiya?” Am I in a parallel world?”
“Teaser and casting looks dope, can’t wait for this one.”
