The makers of Vishal Bhardwaj's "O' Romeo" on Friday unveiled the first look of Bollywood star Shahid Kapoor from the upcoming movie, set to be released in theatres on February 14.

Also featuring Triptii Dimri, the film marks the fourth collaboration for Kapoor and Bhardwaj. The duo has previously worked on "Kaminey", "Haider", and "Rangoon".

The upcoming action thriller is produced by Sajid Nadiadwala under his production banner Nadiadwala Grandson Entertainment.

The production house shared the first look of Shahid's titular character on its official social media handles.

The poster presents a darkly and violent image with Shahid shown bloodied, roaring in rage, and marked with tattoos.

The official plotline of the movie has been kept under wraps by the filmmaker, best known for masterfully adapting Shakespeare's "Macbeth", "Othello" and "Hamlet" for the big screen with his critically-acclaimed movies "Maqbool" (2003), "Omkara" (2006) and "Haider" (2014).
