The trailer of 'Sharmaji Namkeen', starring the late Rishi Kapoor and Paresh Rawal playing the titular character, has been released. Rishi Kapoor’s last film promises to be a sweet and wholesome affair that tells the relatable story of self-realization and discovery of a retired widower who takes up various chores to keep himself busy and avoid loneliness. Though after much trial and error, joy finally enters his life as he discovers a passion for cooking after joining a women’s kitty group. However, he is confronted with various trials and tribulations, including his son’s disagreements over his methods.
The film stars an ensemble of actors including Juhi Chawla, Suhail Nayyar, Taaruk Raina, Satish Kaushik, Sheeba Chaddha, and Isha Talwar.
'Sharmaji Namkeen' has two renowned actors Rishi Kapoor and Paresh Rawal playing the same character for the first time in Hindi cinema, as Rishi Kapoor passed away before the film could be completed.
