Veteran actor Rajesh Khanna's last film 'Riyasat', which he shot for before he died July 18, will release in theatres Dec 28, a day before his 70th birth anniversary, director Ashok Tyagi says.

The late superstar has a prominent role in the movie. It is almost ready, but Tyagi wants to release the film on Rajesh Khanna's birth anniversary.



They can release the film at any time, but they want to release it on Dec 29. Since it is a Saturday, it will be releasing it on Dec 28, just a day before Kakaji's (Rajesh Khanna) birth anniversary,

The director says Rajesh Khanna has left a letter behind, and that shall be opened just before the release of the film.


 "Kakaji has left a sealed letter behind him, which he wanted us to read before the release of the film. So we will be opening his last letter either on his birth anniversary, or just before the release.


For his role in 'Riyasat', Rajesh Khanna is said to have sat and watched the DVD of the 2005 Amitabh Bachchan-starrer 'Sarkar'.

"Before starting the film, he watched Amitabh Bachchan's 'Sarkar' as he is also playing godfather in the film. It's a very different subject and he had shot almost 95 per cent of the film.


 "The entire nation will hear Kakaji's voice in the film," Tyagi, who had started shooting the film in February 2011 and finished it in October.

Rajesh Khanna died in July after prolonged illness and a liver infection. But he had wrapped up most of the shooting for 'Riyasat'.



"Kakaji shot most portions, the ones he wanted. But yes, they were tempted to shoot more. And if his health permitted, thye would surely have shot all of it. Then all of a sudden his health started deteriorating and he left all of us suddenly.

'Riyasat' also features Gauri Kulkarni, Aryan Vaid, Aryeman Ramsay and Raza Mura
