In a major relief for the makers of Shahid Kapoor starrer “O’ Romeo,” the Bombay City Civil Court has dismissed a legal challenge seeking to restrain the release of the movie. The court`s decision came after a high-stakes hearing where the Hon’ble Court weighed claims of personality and privacy rights against the fundamental right to creative expression. 

Refreshing your memory, the lawsuit was initiated by the daughter of the late Hussain Shaikh. She alleged that the film’s portrayal violated her father’s privacy and reputation. However, during the hearing, it was argued that while the film had been publicly announced in late 2024, the legal challenge was only brought forward at the eleventh hour, just days before the scheduled premiere of the movie.
