Hussain Ustara’s daughter files legal notice against the makers of O’Romeo
Recently, Hussain Ustara’s daughter, Sanober Shaikh had a conversation with NDTV, during which she spoke about the legal notice and the reason behind it. Reportedly, Sanober’s lawyer had sent the first legal notice in October 2025 and the second one in December 2025 to the makers of the film. Sanober, during the conversation with NDTV revealed that Shahid’s look resembles that of her father and claimed that the makers didn’t take any permission for it. She was quoted as saying:
“We have only sent a notice. The reason is that in the teaser and videos, my father, that is my father’s entire image has been shown. His look, his style – everything is being shown exactly like him. That is why we sent the notice. But the filmmakers are denying it by saying that it is neither a biopic nor a documentary. As more videos are coming out and more is being revealed about the film, it is clearly visible that everything resembles my father. As a family, and as a daughter, this is extremely disturbing for us. Because of this, problems are arising in our family.”
