Mira shared a series of her pictures alongside Shahid on her Instagram and wrote, "My Romeo. When he asks, 'Main hoon ki hoon nahi (Am I there)?', remember, 'Tum Ho. Aur ho vahi (You are there). The one who is relentless, talented beyond belief, eyes that express a thousand words, and a heart that always mends. Because what holds you is the light. Destiny's child. It's time to shine. Spectacular is an understatement. I am so proud of you. O Romeo now in theatres."

Ishan posted a series of pictures with Shahid on his Instagram. "So immensely proud of you, bhai (brother). The golden words for me as an actor - 'to burn inside, with an outer ease'. You embody that principle with such elan. You deserve the skies and the best roles as an actor. To take a character like Ustaraa and imagine him like a graphic novel hero and yet make him believable takes a GIANT actor and star. The VB-SK magic is undisputed. Go watch 'O' Romeo' in cinemas now for a rock concert experience in the theatres. It's a total dhamaka (blast)," he wrote.
