Versatile actor Om Puri might have left us in 2017, but he remains alive in our memories. His wife Nandita Puri and son Ishan Puri relieved his memories recently when they attended Om Puri's last Bollywood outing Omprakash Zindabad's screening at a popular theatre in Juhu, Mumbai.

The title of the film was changed from Rambhajjan Zindabad to Omprakash Zindabad as a tribute to the late actor. Speaking about the movie in an interview, Nandita said, "It feels good to see his last film release in theatres. This film was shot in Lucknow five years ago and I am glad that it's getting a theatrical release now and I wish the makers the best."
She also revealed that Om Puri was down with typhoid during the shooting but still managed to complete it. "I'm so glad that the makers are dedicating it to Omji. I remember him filming in Lucknow and despite having typhoid, finishing the shoot on time," she added. The dedication of the late actor towards his work will certainly motivate the youngsters.
Sadia Khateeb, who made her Bollywood debut this year with Vidhu Vinod Chopra's Shikara, also marked her presence at the movie screening. The actress opted for a black printed dress along with a black handbag for the outing.
She was accompanied by her Shikara co-star Aadil Khan. The actor looked dapper in his white t-shirt, black jacket, and pants for the event.
Omprakash Zindabad also stars late actor Jagdeep. Speaking about the film, producer Khalid Kidwai said, "This film is a tribute to late actor Om Puri as it's his last film. The name Om Prakash Zindabad is dedicated to him. I hope audiences will like this satire. Also, my tribute to Jagdeep sir as it is also his last film. I'm very happy that the film is releasing and emotional too because both the amazing actors are not present amongst us."
