Shahid Kapoor Calls His Chemistry With Nana Patekar 'Sexy': 'When The Camera Turns On...'

Sajid Nadiadwala’s most awaited O’Romeo, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, has been generating strong buzz. Starring Shahid Kapoor, Triptii Dimri, Avinash Tiwary, Nana Patekar, and Farida Jalal, the film brings together a powerful ensemble and promises a compelling cinematic experience.

Shahid Kapoor, who reunites with Nana Patekar in O’ Romeo after Paathshaala, shared about his working experience with the veteran actor.

Shahid said, “Yes! I really enjoyed working with Nana Patekar in Paathshaala. In fact, I was talking to him just today. I told him, ‘Sir, the chemistry between you and me is very sexy.’ It’s great fun working with him. He is an outstanding actor. When the camera turns on and he starts performing, it’s not only enjoyable to work with him, but

you also get to learn a lot from him. I’ve been watching him since my childhood. In this film, we have some very entertaining scenes together.”

Earlier, Nana Patekar was spotted at the trailer launch event of his upcoming film O’Romeo. Earlier on Wednesday, the veteran actor was seen appearing on the red carpet alongside the film’s director, Vishal Bhardwaj. However, it was later reported that he left the event early.

The videos taken by paparazzi showed Nana Patekar arriving in his signature kurta pyjama set for the event. He was seen interacting with other attendees of the event and posing for shutterbugs.

The veteran actor left the event without even launching the trailer. Social media chatter suggested that Nana Patekar waited for the film’s lead stars, Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri, for nearly 1.5 hours. When the actors did not show up on time, Nana Pateker reportedly decided to leave.

Vishal Bhardwaj later spoke about Patekar’s exit and said, “Woh bachcha hota hai na class mein jo sabko bully karta hai, masti karta hai, and jiske sath sab rehna chahte hai, Nana vo hai.”

He further continued, “Woh hote toh acha hota, but vo apne signature style mein uthe or bole ‘mujhe 1 ghanta wait karvaya, mein jarha hai hoon’ or vo chale gaye, par hume iska bilkul bura nahi laga because we know him.”

Sajid Nadiadwala presents O’ Romeo, a film by Vishal Bhardwaj, produced by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. Releasing theatrically on 13th February 2026.
