On the occasion of late Bollywood star Rishi Kapoor's 69th birth anniversary, the poster of his final film 'Sharmaji Namkeen' was unveiled.
The poster was shared on the official Instagram handle of Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani's Excel Entertainment on Saturday (Sept 4) morning. The late actor in the photograph can be seen smiling broadly and holding a briefcase. He is seen walking on an empty road dressed in a brown sweater paired with a green muffler and black pants.
Alongside the poster, the caption read: "We are proud to present, the poster of a very special film - Sharmaji Namkeen, starring one of the most celebrated actors in the Hindi film industry whose inimitable work and sparkling career we will cherish forever, Mr. Rishi Kapoor. "As a mark of love, respect and remembrance of him and as a gift to his millions of fans, here is the first look of his final film," the caption said. The legendary Bollywood actor had breathed his last on April 30, 2020 after he succumbed to leukaemia. After Kapoor's demise, actor Paresh Rawal stepped in to complete his film. Thus, the next picture shared by the handle on the same post showed Paresh Rawal essaying Kapoor's role.
The caption on the post further said, "A big thank you to Mr. Paresh Rawal, who completed the film by agreeing to take the sensitive step of portraying the same character played by Rishi Ji." Produced by Excel Entertainment and MacGuffin Pictures, directed by debutant Hitesh Bhatia, this film is a light hearted, coming-of-age story of a lovable 60-year-old man," the caption stated.
