Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor said that his uncle, Randhir Kapoor is in the early stages of dementia and asked to speak to the actor바카라™s late father, Rishi Kapoor, who passed away two years ago. Randhir Kapoor had just watched Rishi Kapoor바카라™s last film 바카라˜Sharmaji Namkeen바카라™, which was released on OTT today (March 31).

In an interview with NDTV, Ranbir Kapoor said that Randhir Kapoor loved the film and wanted to congratulate Rishi Kapoor for the same. He even asked Ranbir Kapoor to call his father. 바카라œMy uncle Randhir Kapoor, who is going through an early stage of dementia, and he came to me after the film, said, 바카라˜Tell dad that he is amazing, and where is he, let바카라™s call him바카라™. Art crosses boundaries of medical conditions바카라Š And a good piece of storytelling really embodies that,바카라 he said.

Rishi Kapoor was shooting for 바카라˜Sharmaji Namkeen바카라™ when he passed away due to cancer. Actor Paresh Rawal took over the role after that and shot the remaining portions. 

Ranbir has spoken earlier about how the film will always be special for him. 바카라œThe show must go on 바카라” you all have heard it but I have seen my father live that,바카라 he had said in a video, adding that his father was very worried about what will happen to the film after he fell ill. 바카라œAfter his demise, we thought the film wouldn바카라™t get completed. We thought of trying VFX or I could wear prosthetics and complete the role but nothing was working out. It was a tough time for all of us. And that바카라™s when Mr. Paresh Rawal stepped in. It was very generous of him to take up this challenge,바카라 he added.

The film has been directed by Hitesh Bhatia and also stars Juhi Chawla, Suhail Nayyar, Taaruk Raina, Satish Kaushik, Sheeba Chaddha and Isha Talwar.
