When Bollywood’s own Greek God gives you a standing ovation, you know you’ve done something right. Hrithik Roshan has taken to social media to heap glowing praise on Shahid Kapoor’s performance in O’Romeo, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj — and his words say it all.

What Did Hrithik Roshan Say About Shahid?
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Hrithik wrote that director Vishal Bhardwaj’s quirky storytelling eventually wins you over — and then went all out for Shahid. He praised Kapoor’s performance as unmatched in the action-thriller space, specifically calling out a standout “running in circles” action sequence as brilliant, and urged fans to catch the film in cinemas.
This kind of peer-to-peer appreciation doesn’t happen every day in Bollywood, and coming from Hrithik Roshan — one of the industry’s most celebrated action stars himself — it carries serious weight.
Why This Praise Matters for Shahid
Shahid Kapoor has been in the industry for 23 years now, having proven his range from the romantic debut of Ishq Vishk to the raw intensity of Kabir Singh. But it’s in action-driven, dark, intense narratives — think Haider, Udta Punjab, and now O’Romeo — where he truly appears to be untouchable. Hrithik’s review essentially confirms what many fans have long believed: Shahid owns this space.
