Legendary actor Dharmendra, affectionately known as the He-Man of Bollywood, passed away on November 24, at the age of 89, just days before his 90th birthday. A few days ago, his children Bobby Deol, Sunny Deol and Esha Deol shared a behind-the-scenes video of Dharmendra from the sets of Ikkis. The throwback video is from the day he wrapped filming.
The video shows Dharmendra saying, “I am extremely happy to be with Maddock Films. The team, the captain Sriram ji. This film is done in a very nice way. I think India and Pakistan, both should see the picture. I am a bit happily sad today as it is the last day of shooting. I love you all. Kuch kahi koi galti ho gayi ho uske liye kshama karna (If I have made any mistake, please forgive me),” he said in the video from a few months ago.
Sunny Deol penned a heartfelt note remembering his father Dharmendra and wrote, “A smile that lit up the darkness. Generosity without limits. Love for my papa is deeply rooted in our hearts. He has blessed us with his final film, Ikkis. Let’s celebrate him in movie halls this New Year.”
