New Delhi, February 13 Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor's wife, Mira Rajput, and his brother Ishaan Khatter, shared their thoughts on social media as they praised Kapoor's performance in his latest film, "O'Romeo", and said they were immensely proud of him.
Directed by Vishal Bhardwaj, the film, which also stars Triptii Dimri, was released in theaters today. It revolves around Mumbai underworld gangster Haseen Ustara and his romantic relationship with a woman named Afsha (Dimri).
Rajput shared a series of pictures with Kapoor on her Instagram handle on Friday. "My ROMEO. When he asks 'main hoon ki hoon nahi?', remember, Tum Ho. And you are that. The one who is relentless, talented beyond belief, with eyes that express a thousand words, and a heart that always mends," she wrote in the post.
"Because what holds you is the light. You are destined for greatness. It's time to shine. Spectacular is an understatement. I am so proud of you. 'O'ROMEO' is now in theaters," she added.
Khatter also uploaded a series of pictures with Kapoor on his Instagram handle. "So immensely proud of you, bhai. For me, as an actor, the key is 'to burn inside, with an outer ease'. You embody that principle perfectly. You deserve all the best roles. To take a character like Ustaraa and imagine him as a graphic novel hero, and yet make him believable, takes a truly gifted actor and star," he wrote.
"The VB-SK magic is undeniable. Go watch 'O' Romeo' in cinemas now for a fantastic experience. It's a total blockbuster," he added.
The film also marked the fourth collaboration between Kapoor and Bhardwaj, after their work on "Kaminey", "Haider", and "Rangoon". "O'Romeo" also features Nana Patekar, Avinash Tiwary, Tamannaah Bhatia, Disha Patani and Vikrant Massey.
