The biggest announcement of the year was made last week: the entire Deol brigade of heroes are coming together for Deepak Mukut and Anil Sharma's Apne 2. The humane drama will have Dharmendra sharing screen space with his sons Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol yet again and his grandson Karan Deol for the first time ever. While this film is a prestigious moment that will go down in the history of the film industry, it's also a huge celebration for the family as Dharam ji celebrates his 85th birthday today and it also marks his sixth decade as a Hindi film hero.

Filmmaker Anil Sharma who has had a long-standing relationship with the veteran superstar shared a throwback picture from the sets of their previous film Apne. The picture has the four main men behind the super successful family drama engaged in a conversation during the shoot of the film in Punjab.
