Bollywood actor Sunny Deol turned emotional during the recent trailer launch of his upcoming film 'Ikka', a moment marked by a touching tribute to his late father, veteran actor Dharmendra. The trailer, released on June 29, features a stellar cast including Akshaye Khanna, Dia Mirza, and Tillotama Shome.

While addressing the media in Mumbai, Deol responded with profound emotion when asked about his credit as 'Dharmendra's son' in the movie. 'Main hamesha papa ka beta hoon aur waise hi rahunga... bas isse aage kuch nahi,' he stated.
