Rishi Kapoor’s Last Film To Be Released On His Birth Anniversary
Mumbai: Fans and admirers of Rishi Kapoor, mark the date on the calendar — September 4.
That happens to be the late actor’s birth anniversary. To make it doubly memorable, his last screen outing ‘Sharmaji Namkeen’ will be releasing that day.
His co-star Juhi Chawla, who completed the film after Rishi’s death, is happy that the drama-comedy will be released on his birth anniversary.
Rishi had shot most of the film with Juhi at the beginning of last year. After he lost a prolonged battle with cancer on April 30, 2020, Paresh Rawal played his part.
In an exclusive interview with indianexpress.com, Juhi Chawla shared that the film will release on September 4, which would be Rishi Kapoor’s 69th birth anniversary.
“We are looking forward to its release on Chintuji’s birthday, 4th September this year,” Juhi told indianexpress.com, adding that producers Farhan Akhtar, Ritesh Sidhwani and Honey Trehan ensured that the film was completed on time.

“It is one of the sweetest, warmest and funniest scripts I have heard in some time. When it was first narrated to me, I was excited! The dialogues and moments of the entire film keep you smiling and chuckling with laughter, and Chintuji’s role was tailor made for him,” Juhi said in the interview.
Juhi and Rishi had starred in Bol Radha Bol, Luck By Chance and Eena Meena Deeka in their younger years, before reuniting in Chalk n Duster in 2016.
