THIS Veteran Actor Will Be Doing Rishi Kapoor’s Role In His FINAL Film ‘Sharmaji Namkeen’!

Last year, the Bollywood lost a gem on April 30 and mourned as Rishi Kapoor passed away at the age of 67.

Before succumbing to his battle with cancer, the legendary veteran actor had been shooting for a film called ‘Sharmaji Namkeen’.

Rishi Kapoor’s final film ‘Sharmaji Namkeen’

“It is a coming-of-age story of a 60-year-old man. It is about a middle-class man who wants to discover life after retirement. This film was meant for him, he is the DNA of the film,” – filmmaker Honey Trehan had told the PTI.

Rishi ji’s loss is naturally irreplaceable. The makers were initially going to use advanced VFX technology to complete the pending portions of the film. However, there appears to be a change of plans now.
