Legendary actor Rishi Kapoor’s passing away has left a void in the Hindi film industry that cannot be filled. The veteran actor was all set to feature in the film Sharmaji Namkeen and had finished a major part of the shooting. Turns out now the makers have etched a plan to complete the remaining part in his absence. Below is how they will make it possible.
For the unversed, Rishi Kapoor who will be last seen in Sharmaji Namkeen wrapped the major part of the shooting in January. He was supposed to finish the left out portion in March but the pandemic cancelled the plans and destiny took the star away. The makers of the film in this scenario want to pay their tribute to the late superstar by making this film at any cost and releasing it for his fans and audience.
Now according to a report in Mid-day, co-producer Honey Trehan has revealed that they will be using VFX and some other techniques to shoot the pending portion that needed Rishi Kapoor. Trehan said, “We will be using advanced technology, an amalgamation of VFX and some special technique, to finish the film without compromising on the quality. We are in discussion with a few (VFX studios) and are figuring out the way forward.”
