Vishal Bhardwaj On Nana Patekar Walking Out Of O Romeo Event:

The O Romeo trailer launch took an unexpected turn after veteran actor Nana Patekar walked out of the event due to a prolonged delay. Following his exit, the event continued without his presence, drawing attention to the issue of time management and professionalism at film promotions.

Director Vishal Bhardwaj openly addressed the incident during the event and took responsibility for what went wrong. Acknowledging the delay, Bhardwaj candidly admitted that it was a mistake on the organisers’ part to keep Nana Patekar waiting for nearly an hour. Speaking on stage, he said, “Nana apne signature style mein uthe aur kaha ki mujhe 1 ghanta wait karwaya aur chale gaye. Hume bura nahi laga because we know. This is what makes Nana Patekar the Nana Patekar.”

Vishal Bhardwaj’s comments suggested that Nana Patekar’s reaction was not taken personally, but rather understood as part of the actor’s well-known no-nonsense attitude. The director further implied that Nana’s decision reflected his strong belief in discipline and respect for time.

Despite Nana Patekar’s absence, the O Romeo trailer was eventually unveiled, and Shahid Kapoor and Triptii Dimri interacted with the media. However, the focus remained on the veteran actor’s walkout and Bhardwaj’s public admission of fault.

The incident quickly turned into a chatter on social media and among media people, with many users backing Nana Patekar for his decision and praising Vishal Bhardwaj for owning up to the mistake. Nana arrived at the venue at 12 o'clock, as per the given time. However, the leading pair, Shahid and Tripti, arrived at around 1.30 pm, leaving Nana frustrated and eventually leaving the place without participating in the trailer event.
