Bollywood actor Ranbir Kapoor had recently shared that his uncle Randhir Kapoor ‘is going through an early stage of dementia’ but Randhir has now said that this is untrue. When asked why Ranbir would say something like this, the veteran actor said, “Ranbir ki marzi.”
Randhir told ETimes that he is perfectly fine, and had COVID-19 some time ago. He said, “Aisa kuch nahi hua. Not at all. I am perfectly fine.” He added that he was recently in Goa with filmmaker Rahul Rawail. “Ranbir is entitled to say what he wants,” Randhir said.
Rishi Kapoor passed away mid-way through the shoot of Sharmaji Namkeen. Later, Paresh Rawal stepped in to help complete the film. Ranbir told Film Companion that there was a conversation about him completing his father’s last work under prosthetics, but that did not materialise. “I would have just completed it and it would have been the sentiment of a son completing his father’s work but what Paresh ji brought in, I think we all got really lucky and very grateful that an actor of that calibre agreed to play one character,” he said.
The film also stars Juhi Chawla, Sheeba Chadha, among others, in pivotal roles.
The Indian Express’ Shubhra Gupta gave the film 2.5 stars and wrote, “Rishi Kapoor is truly namkeen in this film, showing us how it is done, light on his feet, light in his eyes, a will to live. Jeena isi ka naam hai.”
