When Vishal Bhardwaj gave a fact check on the film’s title
Earlier in July, a leading entertainment news portal claimed that the movie had been named Romeo, to which the director himself reacted and shrugged off the report. Vishal Bhardwaj took to his social media and shared the report on his Instagram story, calling it “Fake.” He went on to pen a note in the comment section of the post and wrote, “No, it is not titled Romeo and I deny it here!!! It is still untitled.”
About the movie’s release
A high-voltage clash is likely to happen at the box office in December this year. With major competition from Ranveer Singh’s Dhurandhar and Prabhas’s much-anticipated film Raja Saab eyeing a December release, there have been multiple reports claiming that the makers of the Shahid Kapoor starrer, now titled O Romeo, have no plans of shifting its release.
Earlier, Times Now quoted a Bollywood Hungama report, which mentioned that there is no change in the release date of Shahid Kapoor’s next. The portal reported a source close to the development as saying, “It was the makers of Shahid Kapoor’s next that took the December 5 slot first. The filming is going on at a steady pace and the film has shaped up well. Producer Sajid Nadiadwala is confident of the product and doesn’t feel the need to move from the date that he was the first one to reserve.” But still, an official confirmation is awaited.
OnRanveer Singh’s birthday, the makers dropped the first look of Dhurandhar and announced the release date of the film to be December 5. Meanwhile, Prabhas’s horror comedy, The Raja Saab, is also eyeing a December 5 release.
