Filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj released his latest movie, 'O'Romeo,' on February 13, coinciding with an emotional reflection he shared about its creation. Bhardwaj conveyed immense pride in his team's dedication and commitment, noting their extraordinary efforts.

Bhardwaj described the film as a cathartic exploration of his own emotional extremes, a confrontation with both love and violence within himself. He articulated how the protagonist served as an outlet for his suppressed anguish against societal injustices.
He further expressed that 'O'Romeo' embodies his dual nature, being both massy and artistic, violent and poetic, loving and vengeful. For Bhardwaj, the film represents the most complete expression of himself as a filmmaker, regardless of its box office performance.
