Om Puri's last movie 

According to a media statement, Omprakash Zindabad will release on December 18. Talking about the film, the producer Khalid Kidwai said, "After this film completed, it faced a lot of issues from the censor board and then Om Puri's demise. Finally, we had got a green signal but due to COVID-19, it was again put on hold. Now after a long wait, the film is going to release on December 18. I'm thankful to Panorama Studio for getting on board. 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" he added.
