Rajesh Khanna’s final film that he was shooting quietly for, will be releasing at the end of this year to coincide with the late actor’s birthday on 29th December.

The film titld ‘Riyasat’ is around 55 per cent complete and is produced and directed by Ashok Tyagi.

When contacted, Tyagi told Mumbai Mirror, ���I wouldn�۪t say Mr Khanna left my film incomplete. He shot most portions, the ones I wanted. But yes, we were tempted to shoot more. And if his health permitted, we would surely have shot all of it. However, the audience won�۪t realise that portions are missing.�۝

Though the leftover portions don�۪t bother Tyagi, he has come across another problem. ���I will need a dubbing artiste for Mr Khanna�۪s portions. Few can replicate his inimitable style. But I remember when Sanjeev Kumar passed away before Qatl hit the theatres, Sudesh Bhonsle dubbed for the actor. Sudesh is definitely the best we have, when we need anybody�۪s voice. So I shall approach him, or maybe someone else. But I am definitely bringing Mr Khanna�۪s last work to the big screen for his fans,�۝ said the director.

The film also stars Gauri Kulkarni (of Frozen fame), Aryan Vaid and Aryeman Ramsay.
