Sunny Deol Ikkis screening: Emotions ran high at the special screening of Ikkis, as Sunny Deol shared a poignant moment with the memory of his late father,
Dharmendra. The evening brought the Deol family together as they continued to grieve the loss of the legendary superstar, whose final on-screen appearance features in the film.
Sunny arrived at the screening on Monday evening and paused deliberately near Dharmendra’s poster. He looked at it with visible affection before turning towards the cameras. While he offered a gentle smile, his teary eyes revealed the weight of the moment.

The gesture struck an emotional chord with fans and photographers present at the venue, quickly becoming one of the most talked-about moments of the night.
The family stood united through the evening. Bobby Deol attended the screening with his wife Tanya and son Aryaman. Cousin Abhay Deol joined them, and the trio posed together beside Dharmendra’s poster, quietly honouring his legacy. Their presence reflected solidarity during a deeply personal phase for the family.
Another notable moment came with Salman Khan’s arrival. He stopped to admire Dharmendra’s poster before posing for photographs, adding to the evening’s emotional significance. Several industry figures also attended the screening, including Tabu, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Rekha, Lulia Vantur, Manish Malhotra, and Genelia and Riteish Deshmukh. Members of the cast and crew were present as well, lending the event a sense of collective tribute rather than celebration.
