February 20, 2026

Mumbai: Superstar Hrithik Roshan has heaped glowing praise on fellow actor Shahid Kapoor, calling him “the best” when it comes to performing in quirky film roles. Roshan’s appreciation came after he watched Kapoor’s latest film O’Romeo and took to social media to share his admiration.

 Reaction to O’Romeo Performance

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), Hrithik wrote that he “had fun” watching the film and described Kapoor’s ability in the unique genre as unmatched. He added that audiences should go watch the movie in theatres and specially praised one of its action sequences.

The film, directed by Vishal Bhardwaj and starring Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri, has a distinct style blending action, drama and quirky storytelling a combination that drew Roshan’s positive reaction.

 What Makes Shahid Stand Out

According to Hrithik’s social media comment, it’s Kapoor’s effortless grasp of unusual and off-beat character nuances that makes him excel in this genre. Roshan highlighted that the quirkiness of the film eventually wins the audience over, making Kapoor’s performance especially noteworthy.

Shahid has previously been recognized for his versatility across genres, from intense dramas to innovative roles, and now earns public praise from an industry peer for his work in a film that blends humour, action and eccentric storytelling.
