The demise of veteran superstar Dharmendra is still being processed by the Deol family. They got back together at the viewing of Ikkis, his last movie, despite their pain. Sunny Deol was seen posing next to his father's poster at the event, clearly showing signs of sadness.
Sunny Deol stopped to pose with his father Dharmendra's poster for the photographers on Monday when he arrived for the Ikkis screening. Before the pictures were shot, the actor was spotted looking at the poster with fondness. His eyes seemed sad, indicating an emotional moment, even though he grinned for the cameras.
Bobby Deol, his son Aryaman Deol, and his wife Tanya also showed up for the screening. Cousin Abhay Deol joined him, and the family took a group photo next to Dharmendra's poster. Salman Khan's appearance, where he was spotted admiring Dharmendra's poster before posing with it, was another highlight of the evening.
In addition to the film's cast and crew, other celebrities that attended the screening were Tabu, Fatima Sana Shaikh, Rekha, Lulia Vantur, Manish Malhotra, Genelia, and Riteish Deshmukh.
