The genius of Rishi Kapoor came alive every time the camera rolled. It is only apt then that his countless fans witness him, one last time, as the larger-than-life hero whose rightful place was on the big screen. Honey Trehan, co-producer of the late actor's swansong Sharmaji Namkeen, believes he owes the audience the final chance to say goodbye to him.

"We want to take this film to the theatres for his friends, family and fans. We all owe this to Rishiji, one of the silver screen legends. I am grateful to Ritesh [Sidhwani, producer] and Farhan [Akhtar, producer] for investing in the movie not just monetarily, but also emotionally," he says.

The slice-of-life film, which also features Juhi Chawla and revolves around a sexagenarian who discovers the joy of life after retirement, had gone on floors last December. While the unit was to shoot the final Mumbai stint in March, their plans went awry due to the lockdown. "We shot a major portion of the film in Delhi during January. Only a four-day schedule was pending."

As the central character, the veteran was to shoot some crucial scenes in the final leg. However, with Kapoor's sudden demise on April 30 following a two-year battle with leukemia, director Hitesh Bhatia and the unit have the task of completing the project minus the leading man. "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," says Trehan.

New Delhi: With beaches becoming the most preferred honeymoon destination, pack in funky and colourful tassel jewellery and chunky anklets, suggest experts. Nishant Tulsiani, director at Anaqa and Radhika Chitalia, designer at Joules by Radhika, have given inputs:

Your beach jewellery has to always be colourful to go with your swimwear, sarongs and the beach wear. For evening parties, you should go for some nice earrings with tassels in various colours. Always remember to wear light weighted jewellery.

A fine fusion of trinkets like sleek pendants and striking danglers in geometric shapes can be paired with both denims and sundresses and is always a good recommendation.

Chunky anklets in both silver and gold perfectly accessorise your feet when paired with your favourite flip-flops while on a beach with your partner.

Out of the huge variety available, layered neckpieces are an ideal companion for your honeymoon. They can be worn for a casual lunch or a formal night out with your husband.

Chic bracelets and bright coloured tassel earrings can also set the mood for a romantic outing with your beau.
