Shahid Kapoor’s upcoming film ‘O Romeo’ is stuck in legal trouble even before its release. Sanobar Shaikh, daughter of late journalist and encounter informer Hussain Shaikh alias ‘Hussain Ustra’, has sought a stay on the release of the film in Mumbai City Civil Court. He says that the film is based on his father’s life and its use without permission is raising questions about his father’s respect.

Accusation on father’s image
Sanobar Shaikh claims that his father’s personality has been portrayed in a wrong and derogatory manner in the film. The petition said the film’s teasers and promos portray it as being based on ‘true events’, which directly matches Hussain Ustra’s past as a whistleblower against D-Company. According to him, his father’s life and image are a family legacy and cannot be used for commercial gain without permission.

lawsuit and allegations
This case has been filed against film producer Sajid Nadiadwala and other people associated with the film. Advocate D.V. The petition filed through Saroj said that Hussain Sheikh was a law abiding citizen who had helped the law enforcement agencies. The petition alleges that the film shows them in a ‘derogatory’ manner due to which the family may face social boycott or criticism.

Manufacturers’ response
Earlier, when Sanobar Shaikh had sent legal notices, the producers of the film replied that the film is completely fictional. He said that similarity with any person is just a coincidence and no one’s consent is required for it. Despite this, Sanobar Shaikh has demanded in the court a permanent ban on the theatrical, TV and OTT release of the film.

Hearing and Release Information
Mumbai City Civil Court will hear this case on 6 February. The official release date of the film is fixed for 13th February. Sanobar Sheikh says that the release of the film is a violation of his father’s ‘right to privacy’ and an attempt to malign the character of a deceased person.

This actor-driven film with strong actors like Neena Gupta and Sanjay Mishra has been attracting people’s attention ever since its trailer was released.

Emotional moment of film promotion in NSD
A very special and emotional moment was seen during the promotion of the film when Sanjay Mishra, Neena Gupta and Kumud Mishra recently visited the National School of Drama, New Delhi. All three are alumni of this prestigious institute. In NSD, he was welcomed with love and warmth by the faculty and theater lovers. This visit had created an atmosphere like a celebration of cinema and theatre.

Sanjay Mishra’s NSD experiences
During this conversation, Sanjay Mishra recalled his early days spent in NSD and told how he learned a lot by watching seniors and big artists. Sanjay Mishra said, ‘I myself do not know what I learned or did not learn in NSD but I had people like Irfan Bhai. You could just keep looking at them. There were people like Virendra Saxena, Ankur ji, Robin Das and Anup Da whom you used to observe continuously. I remember once seeing Irfan Bhai performing, I thought, ‘When will this man start acting?’ He was playing at that level. His experience deeply connected everyone present there and proved that real learning was not limited to the classroom.

Characters and story of the film
Sanjay Mishra and Neena Gupta will be seen in completely new characters in ‘Vadh 2’ written and directed by Jaspal Singh Sandhu. The emotional and philosophical depth of the first film has been retained. This spiritual sequel, made under the banner of Luv Ranjan and Ankur Garg’s Luv Films, has emerged as one of the most talked about films of 2026.

Vir Das’s first directorial film
‘Happy Patel’ has been directed by Veer Das and he is also seen in the lead role in it. This is Veer Das’s first feature film as a director. At a time when the dominance of big scale and event type films is continuously increasing at the box office, it is a big thing in itself for such a small and simple film to survive in theatres.

Veer Das gave credit to the people
Veer Das expressed his happiness over the response the film is getting and its survival in theatres. He said, ‘We knew from the beginning that this is a small film which is entering a market that depends on scale and grandeur. In such a situation, it means a lot for us that ‘Happy Patel’ continues to run in theaters in the second week.

‘Happy Patel’ became people’s choice
Veer Das further said that all this has been possible because of the people. According to him, people are discovering the film themselves, talking about it and many are even coming to watch it again. He believed that this kind of audience response keeps such films alive in theatres.

The journey continues without heavy promotion
Despite competition from big and wide release films, ‘Happy Patel’ has continued its theatrical journey on the basis of word of mouth and continuous support instead of heavy promotion. This is the reason why this film is maintaining its place in theaters even in the second week.
