Shahid Kapoor is all set to make a thunderous comeback with his upcoming film, now officially titled ‘Romeo’, which will see him in a never-before-seen avatar as a flamboyant gangster. Directed by the master storyteller Vishal Bhardwaj and backed by producer Sajid Nadiadwala, the film promises a fusion of gripping storytelling and commercial cinema.
Shahid’s Bold Transformation
In Romeo, Shahid Kapoor will reportedly portray a colorful gangster, a character that blends raw intensity with a charismatic edge. This new role is expected to surprise his fans, showcasing a different shade of his acting prowess. Shahid, who last appeared in Deva, is once again collaborating with Bhardwaj after critically acclaimed performances in Haider, Kaminey, and Rangoon.
Title Reveal Ends Speculation
Initially, the internet buzzed with possible titles like Arjun Ustara and Evil, but sources have now confirmed that the final title of the film is Romeo. The choice of name suggests a layered character that combines romance, violence, and emotional depth — a Bhardwaj signature.
December 5 Showdown: A Three-Way Clash
Mark your calendars — Romeo is set to release on December 5, the same day as Ranveer Singh’s action spectacle Dhurandhar and Prabhas’ much-awaited fantasy drama Rajasaab. Despite the heavy competition, the makers of Romeo are confident about holding their ground.
Why the Makers Refused to Shift the Date
According to Bollywood Hungama, Sajid Nadiadwala had locked December 5 early on. With filming progressing smoothly and the movie taking great shape, the team sees no reason to budge. Nadiadwala has complete faith in the film’s potential and its power to pull audiences to theatres.

Star-Studded Ensemble and Musical Soul
The cast of Romeo boasts a powerful lineup with Tripti Dimri, Disha Patani, Nana Patekar, and Randeep Hooda joining Shahid in pivotal roles. True to Vishal Bhardwaj’s style, the film is expected to have a soul-stirring musical score, adding depth to its narrative and emotional appeal.
With its gritty storyline, stellar cast, and the magic of Vishal Bhardwaj’s direction, Romeo is gearing up to be a cinematic firecracker. The real question now is — who will rule the box office this December?
