The atmosphere at the special screening of Ikkis was nothing short of magical. As the industry gathered to celebrate the legendary Dharmendra’s last film, it wasn’t just a premiere; it was a reunion of Bollywood’s golden era. Directed by Sriram Raghavan, Ikkis features Agastya Nanda, but the spotlight remained firmly on the “He-Man” of Indian cinema.
The Rekha-Dharmendra Moment The highlight of the evening was the legendary Rekha. Known for her grace, she shared a deeply emotional moment with Dharmendra. In a gesture that touched everyone’s heart, she was seen showing immense respect to her former co-star, reminding fans of their iconic chemistry in films like Ghazab and Kartavya.
Salman Khan’s Presence Adding star power to the event was Salman Khan. The Tiger star, who has always viewed Dharmendra as an idol, spent significant time with the Deol family. His presence underscored the deep bond he shares with Sunny and Bobby Deol, making it a true “family” affair for the industry.
A Legacy Honored Veteran actor Jeetendra also graced the event, completing the trio of 70s and 80s superstars. The screening saw a mix of generations—from the veteran icons to the young Agastya Nanda—marking a passing of the torch. Ikkis is not just a film; it is a celebration of Dharmendra’s unparalleled contribution to Indian cinema.
