# Shahid Kapoor's Bold Take on Violent Roles: "If You Worry About Being Liked, You'll Start Adjusting" **Shahid Kapoor** is unleashing his intense "bad boy" side in the upcoming film *O'Romeo*, a gritty revenge romance directed by **Vishal Bhardwaj**, but he's not shying away from the controversy around its violent edge.[1][2] Imagine a **Romeo** who drowns in love and turns brutal— that's the hook of *O'Romeo*, where Shahid reunites with Vishal Bhardwaj for the fourth time after *Kaminey*, *Haider*, and *Rangoon*. The teaser showcases Shahid in a bloody, rowdy avatar, embracing passion, unrequited love, and raw brutality alongside **Triptii Dimri**. Fans draw parallels to his **Kabir Singh** intensity and even **Ranbir Kapoor's Animal** look, with a stellar cast including **Nana Patekar**, **Avinash Tiwary**, **Disha Patani**, **Vikrant Massey**, **Tamannaah Bhatia**, **Farida Jalal**, and **Aruna Irani**.[1] In a candid interview, Shahid addresses the buzz calling *O'Romeo* a "gangster and violent film." He clarifies: the backdrop is a **90s gangster love story**—dark, edgy, quirky, scary, romantic, and emotional all at once. "The character is both dark and funny... a lover-boy element," he shares, highlighting what drew him in after the narration.[2] On playing such intense roles, Shahid drops a gem: **"If you start worrying about being liked, you will begin adjusting."** This mindset fuels his commitment to authentic, unfiltered performances without pandering to audience approval.[1][2] What makes *O'Romeo* stand out? It's dropping around Valentine's Day, flipping the romance script with its mix of tenderness and vengeance. Shahid's daily two-to-two-and-a-half-hour tattoo sessions transformed him fully into this complex anti-hero, proving his dedication.[2] Triptii Dimri adds a soft contrast, sparking chemistry that's already trending.[1][2]
