About Ikkis
Ikkis, directed by Sriram Raghavan, is Dharmendra’s final appearance on the silver screen. The actor passed away on November 24, 2025, at the age of 89, just days ahead of his 90th birthday on December 8. Ikkis, which stars Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson, Agastya Nanda, in the lead role, tells the story of Arun Khetarpal. It charts the heroic sacrifice made by the youngest recipient of the Param Vir Chakra for the nation during the 1971 war.
Dharmendra even penned a poem for Ikkis in which he says, “Aaj bhi ji karda hai, pind apne nu jaawa (I yearn to return to my village).” Videos and pictures of the screening also show Sunny being moved by his father’s performance, while Bobby honoured Dharmendra by wearing one of his shirts.
Ikkis is produced by Maddock Films and Jio Studios. The film, which will release in theatres on January 1, 2026, also stars Simar Bhatia, Jaideep Ahlawat, Sikandar Kher, and Deepak Dobriyal.
