Audiences are eagerly awaiting Sajid Nadiadwala’s upcoming film O’Romeo, directed by celebrated filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj. Adding to the growing anticipation, Bhardwaj has revealed a powerful behind-the-scenes moment that highlights Nana Patekar’s commitment to his craft.

Speaking about a high-octane action sequence shot on a train set, Vishal Bhardwaj revealed that Nana Patekar continued filming despite suffering from a high fever of 102 degrees.

Recalling the incident, Bhardwaj said, “Suddenly, while we were shooting this action sequence in the train, I got to know that Nana Sir was unwell and had a 102-degree fever. We immediately called the doctor, who said he would give an injection but advised that Nana Sir should not shoot.”

He added, “But Nana Sir, being Nana Patekar, said, ‘No, I am not going back. I want to shoot. I want to complete this sequence. I can’t take this on my head ki mere wajah se shooting cancel hui, location cancel ho.’ And for the next four hours, he kept shooting with us.”

Vishal Bhardwaj further shared, “His body was so warm that we could feel the heat when touching his forehead. Between shots, he would lie down on the train set, and when he got up to perform, it felt like jaise bimaari thi hi nahi. This is the commitment of a great artist.”

 O’Romeo is Inspired by true events, promises a gripping cinematic experience combining intense action, emotion, and riveting performances. Sajid Nadiadwala presents O’Romeo, a film by Vishal Bhardwaj, produced by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment. The film is set to release theatrically on 13th February 2026.
