In a poignant tribute to his legacy, the late actor Dharmendra will be seen one last time on the big screen in Agastya Nanda's highly anticipated film Ikkis. The movie, directed by Sriram Raghavan and produced by Maddock Films, is set to release on December 25. Dharmendra plays the role of the father of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, a 21-year-old soldier who was posthumously awarded India's highest military honour, the Param Vir Chakra, for his bravery during the 1971 Indo-Pak war. Agastya Nanda, who made his debut in 2023 with Zoya Akhtar's The Archies, stars as Arun Khetarpal in the film. The makers of Ikkis shared a new poster featuring Dharmendra, with a caption that reads, "Fathers raise sons. Legends raise nations. Dharmendra ji, an emotional powerhouse as the father of a 21-year-old immortal soldier." The film also features Jaideep Ahlawat and Sikander Kher in key roles. Dharmendra's involvement in Ikkis was not a new development, but the details of his final role have only now been revealed. The actor's passing was announced earlier today, and he will be remembered for his contributions to Indian cinema. Ikkis is a tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, and Dharmendra's performance is expected to be a powerful addition to the film. The movie is a testament to the enduring legacy of Indian cinema and the impact it has on the nation.
