Gone, but certainly not forgotten! Late Rishi Kapoor left behind a legacy that spans over five decades and will be cherished forever. His last movie, Sharmaji Namkeen is soon to be released and cinephiles and fans are eager to watch this special movie. Ahead of the release, his son and one of India’s finest young actors, Ranbir Kapoor shared a special heartwarming message for his fans.
In a video that sees the actor speak straight from the heart, Ranbir revealed his father wished to complete the film at all costs despite his health deteriorating. The actor added that his unfortunate departure resulted in the makers trying VFX and even made Ranbir try prosthetics to complete the film. Eventually, it was veteran actor Paresh Rawal who stepped in and ensured Rishi Kapoor’s swansong gets a fitting conclusion, a gesture Ranbir is extremely grateful for.
Ranbir remembered his father by saying, “You must have heard ‘The show must go on’, but I’ve seen Papa live his life. Sharmaji Namkeen will always be one of (my) most fondest memories of my father. Up on screen, bringing a smile to his countless fans.” He then urged viewers to shower their love for the film like they always did for Rishi Kapoor and requested them to watch the film’s trailer that releases tomorrow.
