Actor Ranbir Kapoor revealed that his uncle and veteran actor Randhir Kapoor is going through an early stage of dementia. Ranbir said this during in an interview when he was asked about Randhir's reaction to Rishi Kapoor's film Sharmaji Namkeen.
Sharmaji Namkeen, which released on Amazon Prime Video on Thursday, is Rishi Kapoor's final film. Ranbir told NDTV: “My uncle Randhir Kapoor, who is going through an early stage of dementia, and he came to me after the film, said, ‘Tell dad that he is amazing, and where is he, let’s call him’. Rishi passed away in April 2020 after his two-year-long battle with cancer.
In earlier interviews, Randhir has opened up about how the death of his brothers Rishi and Rajiv Kapoor had affected him badly. “One year may have passed but there’s not a single day that I don’t think about them. Life will never be the same again,” he had told the Times of India.
Described as a "relatable and heartwarming story of self-realization and discovery", Sharmaji Namkeen follows the life of a recently retired man who discovers his passion for cooking after joining a riotous women’s kitty circle. After Rishi Kapoor's death, the makers had roped in actor Paresh Rawal to complete the remaining portions of the film.
