O'Romeo: What To Expect?
Apart from Shahid and Triptii, the film also features Nana Patekar, Avinash Tiwary, Tamannaah Bhatia, Disha Patani, Farida Jalal and Vikrant Massey among others. It is based on the popular book 'Mafia Queens of Mumbai' by Hussain Zaidi.
Ahead of its release in theaters, O'Romeo witnessed promising advance booking figures. It sold more than 1 lakh tickets across multiple cities in India.
This is the fourth collaboration between Shahid and Bhardwaj. The duo previously worked together on major projects like Kaminey, Haider and Rangoon.
It has been reported that Tamannaah and Vikrant did not charge any fees from the makers for their respective roles in the film.
Apart from the direction, Bhardwaj has also composed the music for O'Romeo, which includes two songs Hum To Tere Hi Liye The and Ishq Ka Fever, sung by Arijit Singh, who recently announced his retirement from playback singing.
The film earlier received an 'A' certificate from the Censor Board of Film Certification, while the makers were asked to implement a few changes to its dialogues, as per Bollywood Hungama.
The censor board replaced the word 'item' in the film with 'kumari,' while in another scene, a word was muted and another 'inappropriate' word got deleted. There were no cuts to the romantic and intimate scenes. Also, a 'woman slapping visual' was reduced by about 20% (two seconds).
Overall, the film's censor board certificate mentions its duration as 178 minutes and 41 seconds (about 2 hours, 58 minutes and 41 seconds).
