Dharmendra gave his all to 'Ikkis,' even in tough times

Entertainment Dec 11, 2025

Director Sriram Raghavan shared how Dharmendra, despite facing health issues, stayed fully committed to his final film, Ikkis.
Even during post-production, he regularly asked about the film's progress and made it a point to join dubbing sessions and watch key scenes—showing just how much the project meant to him.

He shaped the film behind the scenes too

Dharmendra wasn't just acting—he was actively shaping Ikkis. Known for tweaking scenes, he rewrote some dialogues in Urdu and suggested new takes that brought fresh energy on set.
Raghavan said Dharmendra's presence created a special vibe for everyone involved.
Ikkis also stars Jaideep Ahlawat, Agastya Nanda, and Simar Bhatia, and hits theaters December 25.
