Talking about his role in the Karan Johar production, Dharmendra expressed, “Films are our medium to connect with the audience. I choose roles that resonate with my heart when they come my way. I don’t know how many kisses my grandson did in his film, mere ek kiss ka shor hogaeya (my one kiss created so much noise).” Dharmendra and Shabana Azmi were praised for boldly depicting the idea of senior love in the film.
Rajveer Deol, the grandson of Dharmendra and son of Sunny Deol, recently made his Bollywood debut alongside Poonam Dhillon’s daughter, Paloma, in the film ‘Dono’. The film tanked at the box office.
