The makers of “Ikkis” unveiled a striking new poster featuring veteran actor Dharmendra.
The legendary actor, who recently recovered after spending 12 days in the hospital due to severe breathlessness, shared his first voice note on social media. The production team took to Instagram to reveal the new poster showcasing the ‘Sholay’ star, captioned: “Fathers raise sons. Legends raise nations. Dharmendra ji, an emotional powerhouse as the father of a 21-year-old immortal soldier. One timeless legend brings us the story of another. #IkkisTrailerOutNow. Ikkis in cinemas worldwide on 25th December 2025.”
In this latest poster, Dharmendra voices Brigadier M.L. Khetarpal, the father of Arun Khetarpal, paying tribute to the bravery of his late son. His poignant message states, “Yeh mera bada beta, Arun. Yeh humesha ikkis ka hi rahega.”
For those unfamiliar, Brigadier M.L. Khetarpal was instrumental in shaping his son Arun’s sense of duty. His inspiring tales of courage and patriotism greatly influenced Arun’s decision to join the Indian Army. In the film, Agastya Nanda portrays Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, who was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra for his exceptional bravery during the 1971 Indo-Pak war.
Dharmendra was admitted to Breach Candy Hospital on October 31 after experiencing severe breathlessness. He was discharged on November 12 and has since returned home, where he is currently recovering under medical supervision.
Sunny Deol’s team issued a statement confirming that Dharmendra would continue his treatment at home, stating, “Mr. Dharmendra has been discharged from the hospital and will continue his recovery at home. We kindly request the media and the public to refrain from any further speculation and to respect his and the family’s privacy during this time.”
