In addition to expressing his happiness that everyone enjoyed the film, Ghai praised the performances of the main actors, which included Agasta Nanda and Jaideep Ahlawat.
“My heart goes for Dharam pa ji’s last film IKKIS which got a warming applause YESTERDAY AT ITS PREMIER in Mumbai.” Ghai posted on Instagram to congratulate the Deol family and the film’s creators.Everyone’s admiration of the film’s emotional drama and performances makes me extremely happy. I have to watch this. Yes, I would like to extend my sincere congratulations to the Deol family and the Maddock Films crew, especially to Jaideep Alahwat and Agastya Nanda for their outstanding performances. The creator of ‘Taal’ wrote, “Be blessed always (folded hands emoji) love.”
Actress Ameesha Patel also expressed gratitude to Sunny and Bobby Deol on Tuesday for presenting a special “Ikkis” screening.
The “Gadar” actress said that “Ikkis” was endearing to watch because of Dharmendra’s endearing innocence.
Ameesha posted on social media, describing the film as “lovely and endearing”: “Thank you @iamsunnydeol n @iambobbydeol for the special screening of @aapkadharam (Dharamji’s) final film – a fitting homage to our LEGEND! Such a charming, heartwarming, and poignant movie that makes you feel something! Only Dharamji’s adorable naivete could have made IKKIS so endearing to see (emojis of folded hands).
It should be mentioned that Dharmendra died the same day the drama’s creators unveiled his character poster.
Dharmendra will portray Arun’s father in the drama, which is based on the life of child hero Arun Khetarpal, the youngest recipient of the Param Vir Chakra during the 1971 war.
A heartfelt poem by Dharmendra titled “Aj bhi ji karda hai, pind apne nu jaanwa” was previously released by the producers. Dharmendra’s melancholy and desire for his cherished pind (village) are shown in the poem.
