In his caption, Dharmendra wrote: “Friends, with love to you all, I’m delighted to unveil the mesmerising invitation to India’s most prestigious awards ceremony, Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards 2022, in affiliation with !ncredible India and Zee5.”

Outlining the history and relevance of the event, which will be held in Mumbai on February 20, Dharmendra said the Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival (DPIFF) was first held in 2012 and had been “applauded” by the Prime Minister’s Office and the ministries of Culture and Tourism.
