Ranbir Kapoor tried to complete Rishi Kapoor's Sharmaji Namkeen himself using prosthetics, thanks Paresh Rawal for stepping in

Gone, but certainly not forgotten, the late Rishi Kapoor left behind a legacy that spans across 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. Honoring his legacy, his son and one of India’s finest young actors, Ranbir Kapoor has shared a special heartwarming message for his fans. In a video that sees the actor speak straight from the heart, Ranbir reveals how his father, a man so full of life and positivity, wished to complete the film at all costs despite his health deteriorating.

The actor later goes on to say that his unfortunate departure resulted in the makers trying VFX, made Ranbir try prosthetics to complete the film with no luck. 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.
