The passing of Dharmendra in November 2025 marked the end of an era for Indian cinema. He left behind a legacy that continues to resonate deeply within the film fraternity. As Ikkis released earlier this year, the emotions surrounding the film were inevitably heightened. The war drama features the veteran actor's final on-screen appearance. Actor Jaideep Ahlawat shared significant screen space with Dharmendra in the film. He recently opened up about the experience in an interview with The Times of India.
