Dharmendra’s final message from the last shoot day of Ikkis leaves fans teary-eyed: ‘Koi galti hogyi ho toh…’ – WATCH VIRAL VIDEO

In the ever-evolving world of Bollywood, many stars come and go, but there are a few rare gems that remain in the hearts of the audience even after they are gone. One such example of this is legendary actor Dharmendra. Known for his timeless charm, impeccable acting, and the warmth he carried, the “He-Man” of Bollywood took his last breath at the age of 89 on 24th November 2025. As the industry continues to mourn the loss of one of its most beloved icons, December 8 marked what would have been Dharmendra’s 90th birth anniversary. Remembering him, the makers of Ikkis honoured him with a heartfelt tribute, a final glimpse of the actor on set. The video, shared by team Ikkis, is more than just behind-the-scenes footage; it is an emotional farewell to a man whose presence shaped India(BHARAT)n cinema for decades and whose last message now remains frozen in time.

About Ikkis

Directed by Sriram Raghavan and set for release on December 25, the story of Ikkis centres around the valour of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetrapal, the Param Vir Chakra awardee who displayed extraordinary courage in the 1971 Indo-Pak War. The film has generated strong anticipation not only for its story but also for introducing two star-kids, Agastya Nanda, Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson, and Simar Bhatia, Akshay Kumar’s niece. Both newcomers have spoken about the support they received from their families. In the film, Dharmendra has played the role of the older Arun Khetrapal.

The ensemble also features Jaideep Ahlawat and Vijay Raaz, bringing weight to this wartime story. In their tribute post, Maddock Films wrote, “To nine decades of an icon who showed us that real greatness begins with humility (sic).”

With a gentle smile, he said, “India(BHARAT) and Pakistan must see the film,” urging audiences across borders to witness this epic. In the emotional BTS clip, he lovingly praised the team, saying, “I am extremely happy to be with Maddock Films. The team, the captain, Sriram ji. The film is made in a very nice way. I think India(BHARAT) and Pakistan both should see the picture. I’m a bit happily sad for the last day of shooting. I love you all. If I have made any mistake in saying anything, please forgive me.”

Dharmendra’s Eternal Legacy

Dharmendra passed away on November 24 at the age of 89. He is survived by his wives, Prakash Kaur and Hema Malini, and six children. As Ikkis approaches release, the tribute stands as a reminder of the star’s eternal charm, his humanity, and the legacy he leaves behind. Today, while Dharmendra is not in this world, he will always stay alive in our thoughts with his impeccable work and the warmth he carried.
