# Sunny Deol's Heart-Wrenching Tribute to Late Father Dharmendra After Watching 'Ikkis' Trailer In a moment that tugs at every Bollywood fan's heartstrings, **Sunny Deol** poured out his undying love for his late father **Dharmendra** after viewing the powerful trailer of *Ikkis*, the legendary actor's final on-screen appearance.[1][6][7] The trailer for *Ikkis*, starring **Agastya Nanda** as Second Lt. Arun Khetarpal—the youngest Param Vir Chakra awardee from the 1971 war—has left audiences emotional. Clocking in at 2 minutes and 11 seconds, it showcases intense battlefield action, tank battles, and tender family scenes. Dharmendra shines as Arun's grieving father, delivering a gut-punching line: "Yeh meri family hai, chota beta Mukesh 50 saal ka hai aur yeh bada beta Arun yeh hamesha ikkis ka hi rahega" (This is my family. The younger son, Mukesh, is 50 years old, and this is the elder son, Arun—he will always remain 21).[1] This poignant portrayal captures a parent's pride mixed with unimaginable pain, making it Dharmendra's swan song in cinema.[1][2] Moved to his core, Sunny Deol shared his feelings on social media, hailing his father as an "emotional powerhouse." The post's caption read: "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."[1] This comes amid news of the film's release postponement, yet the trailer's impact remains undeniable, blending real-life heroism with Bollywood's Deol family legacy.[1] Dharmendra, who passed away on November 24 after a prolonged illness, left behind a staggering career of over 300 films, including icons like *Sholay*, *Chupke Chute*, and *Phool Aur Patthar*.[2][5] Sunny and Dharmendra shared an unbreakable bond, often showcased in heartfelt social media tributes—like Sunny's post on his father's 90th birth anniversary: "Aaj mere papa ka janamdin hai. Papa hamesha mere saath hai, mere andar hain, love you papa, miss you" (Today is my father's birthday. Papa is always with me, inside me. Miss you).[2][3] The Deol family's 'Celebration of Life' prayer meet on November 27 further honored his enduring legacy, attended by Sunny, Bobby Deol, and more.[2][3]
What makes this even more special? *Ikkis* not only immortalizes Arun Khetarpal's bravery but also gives fans one last glimpse of Dharmendra's raw power on screen. Sunny's tribute reminds us why the Deols are Bollywood royalty—family ties forged in cinema and beyond.[4] What are your thoughts on Sunny's emotional post or Dharmendra's final role? **Drop a comment below sharing your favorite Dharmendra memory, and share this post to celebrate the legend's legacy!** Don't forget to watch the *Ikkis* trailer and mark your calendars for its release.[1]Citations
