Directed by Sriram Raghavan, ‘Ikkis’ is a war biopic based on Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, the youngest recipient of the Param Vir Chakra. The film stars Agastya Nanda in the lead, alongside Jaideep Ahlawat, Suhasini Mulay, Sikander Kher, and Rahul Dev.
Ikkis marks Dharmendra’s posthumous screen appearance.
Earlier in December, a special screening of Ikkis was held in the capital which was attended by Defence Minister Rajnath Singh. At the event, he interacted with ‘Ikkis’ actors Agastya and Jaideep Ahlawat, and also felicitated the family members of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, who laid down his life during the 1971 India-Pakistan war at the age of 21.
