Ikkis Team Reflects on Dharmendra's Casting and Contributions in His Final Film

Ikkis, directed by Sriram Raghavan and based on PVC awardee 2nd Lt. Arun Khetarpal's life, features Dharmendra in his final role as Arun's father. While some team members initially doubted Dharmendra's relevance, the director and writers insisted on his casting, praising his passion and contributions, including dialogue writing and scene improvisations like a symbolic hug breaking hostility. The film also marks debuts for Agastya Nanda and Simar Bhatia, with Dharmendra's dedication leaving a lasting impression on the crew.
