Ikkis: Agastya Nanda teases about Sriram Raghavan’s Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal biopic with a new photo

The cryptic image features Agastya dressed in a white shirt, and sitting on a brown chair. The key detail lies on the back of the chair – the number "21," which translates to Ikkis in Hindi and presumably signifies the film's title.

Ikkis boasts a stellar cast alongside Agastya. The veteran actor Dharmendra will share screen space with Agastya in the movie. Jaideep Ahlawat is also on board for a pivotal role.

Dinesh Vijan, known for producing successful films under his banner Maddock Films, is backing Ikkis. After its theatrical run, the film is expected to be available for streaming on Prime Video, making it accessible to a wider audience.

Ikkis is based on the life of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal PVC. For the unversed, Arun Khetarpal was a Second Lieutenant in the Indian Army who posthumously received the Param Vir Chakra, India's highest military award, for his exemplary courage and sacrifice during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971. A memorial named “Arun's Chowk” was built at the spot where he fought valiantly, and it stands as a tribute to his bravery.
