Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], December 21 (ANI): Just days ahead of the release of the war film 'Ikkis,' actor Sunny Deol remembered his father, legendary actor Dharmendra, as he shared a behind-the-scenes video from the movie, where the 'He-Man' will be seen in a posthumous appearance.

Sunny Deol posted a video on Instagram from the final day of the shoot. The clip shows Dharmendra speaking on set about his time working on the film and sharing his thoughts on its message.

In the video, Dharmendra spoke about how he wanted the film to reach audiences across borders and shared that he felt 'happily sad' on the last day of shooting. Talking about the film, the late actor said, 'I think India and Pakistan both should see the film. I'm a bit happily sad today, the last day of shooting. I love you all. If I made any mistakes, please forgive me.'
