Sriram Raghavan Shares Why Dharmendra Declined Role in Agent Vinod

Filmmaker Sriram Raghavan revealed that veteran actor Dharmendra declined a role as the head of RAW in the film Agent Vinod due to its India-Pakistan theme, preferring not to engage with that storyline. The role was planned alongside Zeenat Aman's character but was dropped after Dharmendra's refusal. The two later collaborated on Ikkis, Dharmendra's final film, which explores a peace-oriented narrative and is now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
