Shahid Kapoor’s ‘O’Romeo’ Trailer Launch Called Off Over Security Concerns

Shahid Kapoor’s ‘O’Romeo’ Trailer Launch Cancelled Amid Security Concerns.

The makers of Shahid Kapoor-starrer O’Romeo have reportedly called off the film’s trailer launch, citing security concerns. According to Pinkvilla, the decision comes after legal action from Sanober Shaikh, daughter of Hussain Ustara, who sent a notice claiming the film portrays her father in a negative light. She has reportedly demanded Rs 2 crore in compensation and asked the makers to halt promotional events until her concerns are addressed.

No official statement has yet been issued by the film’s producers regarding the cancellation.

Legal Notice Details

Sanober Shaikh’s notice, addressed to producer Sajid Nadiadwala and director Vishal Bhardwaj, alleges that O’Romeo misrepresents Hussain Ustara, impacting the family’s reputation. She has requested monetary compensation and a pause on promotional activities until the issue is resolved, according to Bollywood Hungama.
