It’s a proud and emotional moment for the Deol family. Two milestones of Indian cinema come together on the global stage of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).
On 6th September 2025, Bobby Deol’s film Bandar will be screened at TIFF. On the very same day, Indian cinema’s most iconic film Sholay will be showcased at the festival. This film stars the legendary Dharmendra alongside Amitabh Bachchan.
The date itself carries a special significance. Forty-eight years ago, on 6th September 1977, Bobby Deol stepped onto the silver screen. He appeared as a child actor in Dharam Veer. Today, that journey comes full circle. He stands tall at one of the world’s most prestigious film festivals. He carries forward the rich cinematic legacy of the Deol family.
For Bobby Deol, this moment is more than professional recognition—it is deeply personal. He represents not only himself but also his family at TIFF. He also represents the larger world of Indian cinema. He continues the proud tradition started by his father, Dharmendra. Dharmendra is one of the most beloved and enduring icons of Indian film.
