• Sanober Shaikh, daughter of late journalist-informant Hussain Shaikh (Hussain Ustara), filed a petition in Mumbai civil court to stop the release of the film 'O' Romeo'.
• She claims the film is an unauthorized biopic of her father, whose life is being portrayed without family consent for commercial gain.
• The lawsuit names producer Sajid Nadiadwala, director Vishal Bhardwaj, and author Hussain Zaidi, alleging violation of privacy and potential harm to her family's reputation.
• Hussain Shaikh, despite a criminal past, became a police informant who aided law enforcement against the D-Company.
• Filmmakers deny allegations, stating the movie is fictional; the court will hear the matter on February 6.
