However, even as the film witnessed a gradual uptick in theatre turnout, it has emerged that ticketing platform BookMyShow has disabled O Romeo’s ratings and reviews following a court order. According to reports, the measure was implemented to curb organised negative campaigns targeting the film.

Earlier, the makers of Chiranjeevi and Nayanthara’s Mana Shankara Vara Prasad Garu, which released in theatres on January 12 this year, had adopted a similar approach.

O Romeo, produced by Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment, also stars Nana Patekar, Vikrant Massey, Disha Patani, Tamannaah Bhatia, Farida Jalal and Avinash Tiwary in key roles.
