Bollywood star Rishi Kapoor’s swansong ‘Sharmaji Namkeen’ is set to release on Amazon Prime Video on March 31.

Directed by Hitesh Bhatia, the movie will release on the streaming service as an Amazon original movie.

Prime Video and Excel Entertainment announced in a statement on Wednesday.

‘Sharmaji Namkeen’ marks the final screen appearance of Kapoor, who died at the age of 67 in April 2020 after a two-year-long battle with leukemia.

The movie is produced by Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani’s Excel Entertainment, in association with filmmaker Honey Trehan and Abhishek Choubey under their banner MacGuffin Pictures.

After Kapoor’s death, the makers had roped in actor Paresh Rawal to complete the remaining portions of the film, making it the first instance where two actors played the same character in one movie.

‘Sharmaji Namkeen’ also features Juhi Chawla, who extensively worked with Kapoor.

Manish Menghani, head, content licensing, Prime Video, said with ‘Sharmaji Namkeen’ the company continues its endeavor of delivering content that “keeps our customers engaged and entertained”.

“It is a truly special film and a humble tribute to the acting prowess and cinematic brilliance of the late Rishi Kapoor and a testament to the immeasurable talent of Paresh Rawal. Both actors have entertained generations of audiences through their legendary performances,” he added.
