It's been almost two years since we lost legendary actor Rishi Kapoor.

The project also has Paresh Rawal stepping into Rishi's shoes to complete the remaining scenes after the veteran actor's demise. The latest celeb to review the film is Javed Akhtar. The lyricist watched Sharmaji Namkeen recently and couldn't stop praising it.
Javed Akhtar took to his offical Twitter handle and wrote, "Watched Sharma ji Namkeen . So well written and directed . Thank you Paresh Rawal saheb for your most unusual and great contribution . Now my friend Chintu , ultimately it is your show . You have hit the last ball out of the stadium . Tell me ,why we all won’t miss you for ever (sic)."
