Dharmendra`s final film Ikkis is now in theatres. The film comes a little over a month after the demise of the legendary star who spread cheer and warmth with his characters on screen and his charm off-screen. In his final film, directed by Sriram Raghavan, Dharmendra plays Brigadier ML Kheterpal, father of India`s youngest Paramvir Chakra recipient Arun Kheterpal. While the film focuses on the bravery of Arun Kheterpal (played by Agastya Nanda), Dharmendra`s character serves as the soul of this anti-war drama.

Bobby Deol dubs for Dharmendra

Sriram Raghavan`s directorial swings between 1971 and 2001. Dharmendra`s character visits Pakistan for personal reasons and is hosted by Brig Jaan Mohammed Nissar (played by Jaideep Ahlawat). The story unfolds through their lens as they recall the final year of Arun with fondness and pride. Interestingly, in the segment where Dharmendra plays a young father in the 70s, his voice has been dubbed by his son and actor Bobby Deol. The Animal actor is given due credit at the beginning of the film for his contribution.
