Sunny Deol Reunites with Akshaye Khanna in Ikka
He added, “Lekin ye film mere paas ayi aur isme Akshaye [Khanna] hain… jinke saath maine Border ki thi (Then Ikka happened where I am working with Akshaye, with whom I had worked in Border before). It was the first film where we worked together. Bohot maza aaya tha aur iss film mein bhi bohot maza aya (We had enjoyed working together in that film, and did the same in this film too). I have known him for so many years, and wo mujhse jyaada aloof hain (he is more aloof than I am).” (laughs)
