# Shahid Kapoor's *O Romeo* Dodges Last-Minute Court Block: Gangster's Daughter's Plea Rejected! Imagine a high-stakes Bollywood drama where the reel life almost mirrors real courtroom battles—**Shahid Kapoor's *O Romeo* just scored a massive legal win**, with a Mumbai civil court refusing to stall its release despite claims it rips off a late gangster's story.[1][2][3] Directed by the masterful **Vishal Bhardwaj**, *O Romeo* stars **Shahid Kapoor** as a gunman in a gritty gangster saga packed with action, violence, and romance—think teaser vibes of intense shootouts and steamy tension alongside **Triptii Dimri** and **Nana Patekar**.[1][2][3] The plot stays shrouded in mystery, but one thing's clear: it's billed as **pure fiction** with disclaimers to boot.[1][2] The twist? Sanober Shaikh, daughter of late gangster Hussain Ustara, sued claiming the film portrays her father's life without consent, demanding a pre-release halt and screening.[1][2][3] But Civil Court Judge H C Shende shut it down, ruling she **failed to establish a case for an injunction**. Why? She previously sent notices demanding **₹1-5 crore** in compensation, tainting her plea as "purely monetary," plus massive delays in filing—only rushing to court as release loomed.[1][2][3] The judge also nixed a pre-screening, calling it "judicial censorship" against settled law.[1][2] Sanober's team plans to appeal to the Bombay High Court, but for now, *O Romeo* is greenlit to thrill audiences.[1][2][3] This ruling underscores a key Bollywood truth: fiction reigns supreme unless proven otherwise, protecting creators from last-ditch shakedowns.
