The veteran actor will be seen sharing screen space with Ranveer Singh and Alia Bhatt in Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, which also features Jaya Bachchan and Shabana Azmi.

The Karan Johar directorial will see Dharmendra play a pivotal role. Bobby says, “I am so happy for my dad. He told me that he never thought he would be working at this age and yet, he got cast in such a big film by a renowned banner. Like my dad, I hope to be working when I am his age.”

Talking about his father’s enthusiasm toward his job, Bobby adds, “He is like a child. Dad is so dedicated and has that fire to keep working. He would keep sending us (family members) pictures and videos and share his plans on how he was to portray his character in the film.
