For years, speculation has swirled around an alleged fallout between Shahid Kapoor and filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj during the making of Rangoon. Reports at the time suggested creative differences and tensions on set, with claims that the actor interfered in the filmmaking process. 

However, at the trailer launch of O'Romeo in Mumbai, Vishal Bhardwaj finally addressed the long-standing rumours.

Reflecting on their much-discussed clashes, Vishal Bhardwaj admitted that creative arguments do exist but insisted they have been exaggerated over the years.

He said, "We also have many fights and those fights are known to the media more, but there aren't that many fights between us. We've formed a bond between us like Laxmikant-Pyarelal, like Kalyanji-Anandji."

The filmmaker went on to acknowledge his own challenging temperament, crediting Shahid Kapoor for understanding and navigating it with maturity.

"Shahid understands my passive-aggression and that I'm a very difficult man to work with. Shahid should get a National Award for doing four films with me. We complement each other," he further added.

O'Romeo marks the fourth collaboration between the duo after Kaminey, Haider, and Rangoon. Vishal Bhardwaj praised Shahid Kapoor as one of the most accomplished actors of his generation, noting that the performer has inherited emotional depth from his parents, Pankaj Kapur and Neelima Azeem.
