Mumbai, Dec 20

Actress Esha Deol has taken to her social media account to share a BTS video of the upcoming movie Ikkis, featuring her late superstar father, Dharmendra.

Dharmendra, who will be seen posthumously in the upcoming film 'Ikkis', in the BTS video was seen asking for forgiveness in case he had hurt anybody, even unintentionally.

"I'm a bit happily sad today, the last day of shooting. I love you all; if I made any mistake, please forgive me," said Dharmendra.

He also is seen urging audiences from both India and Pakistan to watch Ikkis. In the video, Dharmendra was also seen expressing happiness at being a part of Ikkis. He said, "I'm extremely happy to be in the Mandav films. The team, the captain, Shriram ji. It was done in a very nice way."

Esha Deol, who shared the heartwarming video, wrote on her social media, "He is the best. Love you, Papa."

Earlier in the day, Dharmendra, an elder of Sunny Deol, had also taken to his social media account to share the same video.

He captioned it as, "A smile that lit up the darkness. Generosity without limits. Love for my papa is deeply rooted in our hearts. He has blessed us with his final film, Ikkis. Let's celebrate him in movie halls this New Year."

Talking about Ikkis, the last movie of Dharmendra's career, 'Ikkis' is directed by Sriram Raghavan and is based on the life of Arun Khetarpal, one of India's youngest Param Vir Chakra awardees. He was martyred during the 1971 Indo-Pak war at the age of 21.

The lead role is played by Agastya Nanda and also marks the debut of Akshay Kumar's niece, Simar Bhatia. Ikkis is all set to release on January 1, 2026.

The film is about a 1971 war hero and he's asking audiences from both countries to watch. A message of peace from a man who lived through those times is powerful. Respect.

My grandfather loved his movies. This feels like the end of an era. Will definitely go with my family on 1st Jan to pay our respects. The story of Arun Khetarpal is one every Indian should know.

While the sentiment is beautiful, releasing the film on New Year's Day feels a bit commercial for a tribute to both a war hero and a legendary actor's final role. The date could have been more solemn.

"Happily sad" – that phrase captures it perfectly. He was happy to complete the work but sad it was ending. A true artist. Esha must be so proud. Heartwarming to see the family sharing this.

Sriram Raghavan directing, story of PVC awardee, and Dharmendra's last film? This is a must-watch combination. Hope the film does justice to Major Arun Khetarpal's bravery. Jai Hind!
