The passing of Rishi Kapoor has left a big hole in the hearts of audiences of the Hindi film industry. However, we may get to see Rishi on screen one last time. Reportedly, Rishi Kapoor's last film Sharmaji Namkeen will be releasing in theatres post lockdown. The film's producer Honey Tehran confirmed the news.
Speaking to Mid-Day, producer Honey Tehran said, "We want to take this film to the theatres for his friends, family and fans. We all owe this to Rishiji, one of the silver screen legends. I am grateful to Ritesh [Sidhwani, producer] and Farhan [Akhtar, producer] for investing in the movie not just monetarily, but also emotionally."
The film is being helmed by first time director Hitesh Bhatia. It is being produced by Excel Entertainment in association with Honey Tehran and Abhishek Choubey.
