Ahead of the release of late actor Om Puri's last film, Omprakash Zindabad, his wife Nandita is euphoric. The film is set to release on December 18 in theatres.

The title of the film was changed from Rambhajjan Zindabad to Omprakash Zindabad as a tribute to the late actor. "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," said Nandita.

"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 film is produced by Khalid Kidwai and directed by Ranjeet Gupta. The film also stars Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Ishtiyak Khan and Zakir Hussain.
