After the recent health scare, veteran actor Dharmendra is officially making a comeback to Bollywood with the upcoming war drama Ikkis. Starring alongside Agastya Nanda, the 89-year-old star plays Brigadier M.L. Khetarpal, father of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal. Sriram Raghavan’s film is slated to release on Christmas this year, and it is based on India’s youngest Param Vir Chakra awardee.
Dharmendra in Ikkis
Sharing the poster on Monday, Maddock Films wrote, "Fathers raise sons. Legends raise nations. Dharmendra ji, an emotional powerhouse as the father of a 21-year-old immortal soldier.
One timeless legend brings us the story of another." In the newly released poster, Dharmendra appears as an emotional avatar, and fans eagerly await his appearance in the film.
In another motion poster, the actor lends his voice in a dialogue, "Yeh mera bada beta, Arun. Yeh humesha ikkis ka hi rahega," which has taken over the internet.
