Amitabh Bachchan pays a tribute to Dharmendra

Sriram Raghavan directed Ikkis, which is Dharmendra’s last film released in theaters on 1st January 2026. As the film’s team will be seen promoting the film on Kaun Banega Crorepati 17, Amitabh Bachchan will also pay a tribute to the late Dharmendra. Amitabh remembered his Sholay co-star while talking about about their bond, “The film Ikkis is like a precious memory for us, which Dharmendra left behind for crores of his fans. An artist wants to worship his craft till his last breath, and that’s what my friend, my family member, my ideal – Dharmendra Deolji did. He was not just a person; he was an emotion. He lives in our memories, our prayers, and will always be.”

Sriram Raghvan also added, ” I feel very blessed that the last film he worked in was mine; he is extraordinary in it.” Jaideep Ahlawat said, ” I feel very lucky that most of his scenes in the film are with me. Whenever he was on set, it never felt like such a huge star was around; he felt like a part of our family.” Amitabh Bachchan also went on to recall an incident from Sholay’s climax. He shared, “We were shooting in Bangalore, and he was blessed with a great physique, one day I got to know his real strength. In one of Sholay’s scenes where I am supposed to die, I am seen struggling, and that was because he was holding me so tight. That was very natural acting from me.”
