Sharmaji Namkeen trailer: Rishi Kapoor lives life to the fullest in his final film

The trailer of  Rishi’s Kapoor’s last movie, Sharmaji Namkeen, has been released. The film also stars Paresh Rawal and Juhi Chawla in lead roles.

The shooting of the film was still incomplete when Kapoor passed away in 2020. The makers of the film then brought in Rawal to step into the later actor’s shoes, and complete the film. The trailer of Sharmaji Namkeen states that it is the first time that the same “memorable character” has been played by two legendary actors in Hindi cinema.

The feel-good drama stars Kapoor as BG Sharma, a person who is at loose ends after he retired from his job. He experiments with some hilarious part-time vocations, including Zumba and dog-walking, but to no avail.
