Legal Notice Threatens Film’s Release
The makers of Shahid Kapoor’s upcoming film O Romeo received a legal notice demanding ₹2 crore in damages. The notice came from the daughter of Hussain Ustara, who claims the film uses her father’s name without permission.
She has also asked the producers to stop the film’s release immediately.
Allegations of Unauthorized Use
The notice alleges that the film exploits a real person’s identity for commercial gain. It claims the makers never took consent from the family. If unresolved, the case could lead to a court order blocking the release.
Legal experts say such disputes can seriously delay film launches.
Makers Silent as Talks Continue
So far, the O Romeo team has not issued an official statement. Shahid Kapoor has also remained silent. Industry sources suggest that the makers may try to settle the issue to avoid legal delays.
With promotions expected to begin soon, the controversy has arrived at a critical time for the film.
