Shahid Kapoor is gearing up for the release of his upcoming movie O’Romeo. The Vishal Bharadwaj directorial also stars Triptii Dimri, Avinash Tiwary, Nana Patekar and more in leading roles. During an interview with Dainik Bhaskar, Shahid opened up about his popular film, Kabir Singh, that many movie lovers are fond of. While talking about it, he shared his take on Kabir Singh’s comparisons with Animal. Directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga, both movies have rowdy male leads, played by Shahid Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor.

Fans had previously speculated about a Kabir Singh and Animal crossover. Speaking about it, Shahid revealed that Sandeep wanted Kabir Singh’s character to be in one of the scenes in Animal. He said, “Jab Animal bhi ban rahi thi, actually Sandeep had come to meet me. He wanted one scene of Kabir to be there in that, but woh ho nahi paaya. Toh unke man mein ye thought tha. But wo ho nahi paaya. Kuch dates ka issue ho gaya, koi dusra issue ho gaya. But yes, he had said that I want one scene. Phir wo hua nahi. (When Animal was being made, actually Sandeep had come to meet me. He wanted Kabir to have one scene in it, but that couldn’t happen. So that thought was there in his mind, but it didn’t work out. There were some date issues, some other issues. But yes, he had said that he wanted one scene. Then it didn’t happen).”

Shahid also revealed, “Wo dono characters unke hain, wo duniya unki hai. Toh unke saath unko jo man mein aayega karne ke liye, wo karenge. (Both those characters belong to him, that world is his. So whatever he feels like doing with them, he’ll do).”

On the professional front, apart from O’Romeo, Shahid hasn’t spoken up about any future projects yet. The movie is releasing in the theatres on February 13, 2026.
