Sharmaji Namkeen, a film about self-realization and discovery, tells the story of a newly retired man who discovers his passion for cooking after joining a women’s kitty circle.
The film’s production was halted when Rishi Kapoor’s health deteriorated, despite its earlier release date. The film was continued when Paresh Rawal was brought in to finish the remaining scenes. This is the first time in film history that two actors will portray the same character.
