Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol are set to host a special and emotional screening of Ikkis, the final film completed by their legendary father, Dharmendra. The private screening will take place on Monday, December 29, in Mumbai, bringing together close family members, friends from the film industry, and select media personalities.
This event is more than a film screening. It is a heartfelt tribute by two sons to a father who defined generations of Indian cinema. Dharmendra passed away on November 24 at the age of 89, leaving behind an unmatched legacy that spans over six decades of memorable performances, timeless charm, and emotional storytelling.
The screening will be held at a private multiplex in Mumbai, creating an intimate space for remembrance and celebration. Rather than a glamorous premiere, the evening will focus on honoring a life devoted to cinema and the values Dharmendra stood for—hard work, sincerity, and love for the nation.
Directed by Sriram Raghavan and produced by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films, Ikkis is a war drama based on the life and sacrifice of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, a hero of the 1971 India-Pakistan War. The film stars Agastya Nanda in the lead role, with strong performances by Jaideep Ahlawat and Simar Bhatia. Dharmendra’s presence in the film adds emotional depth, making it a powerful final chapter in his cinematic journey.
In one of his last interviews related to Ikkis, Dharmendra shared that working on the film felt like a tribute to India’s armed forces—reflecting his deep respect for the nation and its heroes. This sentiment makes the screening even more meaningful.
Through this special event, Sunny and Bobby Deol are not only celebrating a film but also preserving their father’s legacy. Ikkis stands as a reminder that legends never truly fade; they live on through their work, their values, and the memories they leave behind.
As audiences await the film’s release, Ikkis promises to be a moving experience—honoring courage, sacrifice, and the enduring legacy of one of Indian cinema’s greatest icons.
