Birthday gift for Kapoor saab

First look of Rishi Kapoor’s last film out

On the occasion of late actor Rishi Kapoor’s birth anniversary (September 4), Excel Entertainment unveiled the first look of Kapoor’s final film, titled Sharmaji Namkeen. The film marks Kapoor’s last project but since he passed away before completing the film, the makers decided to rope in Paresh Rawal to portray his role and complete the film. Along with Rawal, the film also stars Juhi Chawla.

The movie is being directed by debutant Hitesh Bhatia and is said to be a light-hearted coming-of-age story of a lovable 60-year-old-man.

Meanwhile, remembering the late actor on his birth anniversary, wife and actress Neetu Kapoor shared a picture with Rishi and wrote, “I learnt a lot from Rishi Ji during our last few traumatic years in NYC… how we celebrated when his blood counts were high, we dined, shopped, laughed. In his lows we just stayed home watched TV, ordered in amazing food and still had some wonderful moments in hope that the next round of chemotherapy he would be better. Hope and being strong is what he taught me. Value each day. We all miss him today! I can picture him how excited he would have been for his 69th birthday! I’m sure he is celebrating with his family up there, Happy birthday Kapoor Saab.”
