Shahid Kapoor’s O Romeo faces legal trouble as Hussain Ustara’s daughter, Sanober, claims the film misrepresents her father and demands its release be canceled.
O Romeo stars Shahid Kapoor in lead role.
A teaser of O Romeo has been released recently, and while the audience has been making social media go crazy, shocking news has emerged claiming that a legal notice has been sent to the filmmakers by the daughter of Hussain Ustara. In the notice, Hussain’s daughter, Sanober, claimed that she believes there is a wrong portrayal of her father in the Vishal Bhardwaj directorial, and in her notice, she has asked for compensation of Rs. 2 crores.
Reportedly, not only has she sought compensation of Rs. 2 crores, but she has also asked for the amount to be paid within seven days. As per Bollywood Hungama, “The letter has been addressed to producer Sajid Nadiadwala of Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment and director Vishal Bhardwaj last week. It claims that O Romeo probably shows Hussain Ustara in a bad light, thereby impacting the family’s reputation. Hence, she has asked for Rs. 2 crores for the same. Along with the monetary demand, Sanober has also reportedly requested the makers to halt or cancel the film’s release until her concerns are addressed to her satisfaction."
While this report has created quite a lot of buzz, there has been no official confirmation from the makers about the film being based on any real-life individuals. Meanwhile, ever since the release of the teaser, there have been claims that the movie may be inspired by stories linked to Hussain Ustara and Sapna Didi. The teaser also claimed that the film is inspired by real events.
