SCOOP: Shahid Kapoor & Rashmika Mandanna are NOT DOING Amit Ravindranath Sharma's next rom-com Earlier in the year, a PR website reported that director Amit Ravindranath Sharma is teaming up with Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna on a high-concept romantic comedy. The PR website also reported that the film will go on floors once Shahid Kapoor wraps up shooting for Farzi 2. But we at Bollywood Hungama are bringing an exclusive fact-check article on the said report. Our reliable sources have confirmed that Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna are NOT A PART of Amit Ravindranath Sharma's next film. "Shahid and Rashmika are doing Cocktail 2, and that's the only film they are doing together at the moment. While Shahid was offered this romantic comedy, he wasn't too keen on doing another one after Cocktail 2, and hence decided not to even hear the script," a source shared with Bollywood Hungama. The source also shared further that Rashmika, on the other hand, was never even offered a role in this project. "It's far from true. Rashmika has her diary filled with feature films in the coming year, and this one was not even offered to her. The fact of the matter is, Amit wanted to cast Shahid, but that didn't work out, and now he is contemplating other names. "The film will be produced by Sunir Kheterpal and Jio Studios, and the shoot timelines depend on the availability of actors.

Cocktail 2 first look teaser to drop on March 18; likely to be attached with paid previews of Dhurandhar: The Revenge The makers of Cocktail 2 have officially kicked off the promotional campaign by unveiling a series of character posters featuring the film’s lead trio – Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna. Production house Maddock Films shared the posters on March 13, five days before the scheduled first-look teaser release. Announcing the reveal on social media, the banner teased fans with the caption, “For more info, make your way to the theatres this Wednesday, March 18,” hinting that the teaser will be unveiled in cinemas before its digital release. The newly released visuals introduce audiences to the film’s central characters played by Shahid Kapoor, Kriti Sanon, and Rashmika Mandanna, each poster offering a glimpse into their distinct personalities within the story. Shahid Kapoor’s poster presents him as the brooding urbanite of the trio. The actor is seen leaning casually against a green convertible, sporting a red-and-white patterned shirt paired with dark sunglasses. With the sunlit sea in the background and his relaxed yet contemplative stance, the look hints at a character who may serve as the emotional anchor of the narrative—echoing the charming “urban lover boy” energy while bringing a more mature edge.

Here's why Rashmika Mandanna is NOT a part of Amit Sharma's next Nowadays, a lot of what is perceived as “news” is plain conjecture. So, we have a story doing the rounds that Amit (Badhaai Ho) Sharma is directing a romcom next, featuring Shahid Kapoor and Rashmika Mandanna. But a source very close to the director debunked the report. “There is no Rashmika Mandanna in the project at all. Yes, Amit is in talks with Shahid Kapoor,” said the source. Rashmika’s inability to be part of the project has a two-pronged reason: Firstly, Rashmika’s date diary is clogged and she would like to clear the crowded workload for the wedding ahead. Secondly, she has just completed another project with Shahid Kapoor, Cocktail 2. Also Read: It’s a wrap!

O’Romeo ratings and reviews disabled on BookMyShow after court order The recently released film O’Romeo, starring Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri, has had its audience ratings and public reviews disabled on the popular ticketing platform BookMyShow, following a court order. This marks an unusual development for a Hindi film, with official audience feedback blocked shortly after the movie’s theatrical debut on February 13, 2026. O’Romeo, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj and produced under the Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment banner, opened to a mixed response at the box office. According to reports, the film initially displayed an audience rating on BookMyShow — starting around 6. 8 and rising to about 7 by the second day — before the reviews and rating section was removed entirely. On the film’s BookMyShow page, where ratings and comments typically appear, a notice now reads: “Reviews and ratings disabled as per court order. ” While neither the platform nor the makers have issued detailed statements explaining the legal reasoning, industry observers note that this appears to be a strategic response amid concerns over organised negative campaigns and “review bombing” that can skew public perception. O’Romeo features a strong ensemble cast including Vikrant Massey, Disha Patani, Farida Jalal and Nana Patekar, among others. Despite its early debut and attention around its stylistic elements and performances, the film’s reception among audiences has been varied, with some praising... #Triptii_Dimri #film #Shahid_Kapoor #recently_released #starring_Shahid #popular_ticketing #court_order #released_film #Dimri #reviews_disabled
EXCLUSIVE: O'Romeo is Shahid Kapoor's second A-rated film after Kabir Singh; CBFC replaces 'Item' with 'Kumari'; reduces 'woman slapping visual' by 20% After collaborating on Kaminey (2009), Haider (2014) and Rangoon (2017), Shahid Kapoor and director Vishal Bhardwaj have joined hands for the fourth time for O'Romeo. This combo, along with the ensemble cast, impactful trailer and soulful-n-peppy album have generated interest for the flick. O'Romeo releases on February 13, and earlier this week, the censor process was completed. In this article, Bollywood Hungama will exclusively focus on the cuts given to the action entertainer. O'Romeo has been awarded an ‘A’ certificate; in other words, this is Shahid Kapoor’s second A-rated film of his career after Kabir Singh (2019). Despite the adult rating, the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) asked for several changes. The Examining Committee of the CBFC made several changes in the dialogues. The word 'Item' was replaced with 'Kumari'. At four other places, a word was replaced, but there is no detail on the same in the cut list. In a scene, a word was muted, while at another point, an ‘inappropriate’ word was asked to be deleted. There has been no cut in the romantic and intimate scenes. However, a few violent scenes had to face the censor scissors. A close-up visual of throat cutting was reduced by 20%, that is, by 3 seconds. 2 seconds were reduced in two shots - one of close-up visuals of 'bloodshed head hitting' ... #Vishal_Bhardwaj #Shahid_Kapoor #director_Vishal #Kabir_Singh #woman_slapping #joined_hands #fourth_time #A-rated_film #CBFC_replaces #Shahid
