On Wednesday, it was announced that upcoming film 'Sharmaji Namkeen' starring legendary actor Rishi Kapoor for the last time on screen, will be out on Amazon Prime Video on March 31.
Produced by Excel Entertainment and Macguffin Pictures, 'Sharmaji Namkeen' is touted as a light hearted coming-of-age story. The film is being directed by Hitesh Bhatia.
For the unversed, Rishi had shot for most of 'Sharmaji Namkeen' with Juhi Chawla at the beginning of 2020.
After his demise on April 30, 2020, the film's producers roped in actor Paresh Rawal to fill in Rishi Kapoor's shoes and complete the rest of the shoot.
Talking about the project, Ritesh Sidhwani, Co-Founder, Excel Entertainment said, "At Excel, we have always focused on offering the most clutter-breaking narratives and bring to life characters that are memorable and heartwarming. Sharmaji Namkeen is a slice-of-life story of an ordinary man and his extraordinary pursuit to find a new meaning in life. We are humbled and thankful to work with the legendary actor, the Late Rishi Kapoor, for this epic family entertainer, which remains his last onscreen portrayal."
He added, "The movie is our tribute to his commanding stardom and charm and we are happy to add another milestone to our robust collaboration with Prime Video."
