After making a promising debut in Zoya Akhtar’s The Archies, Agastya Nanda is all set to captivate audiences with Sriram Raghavan’s Ikkis. Agastya who is the grandson of legendary actor Amitabh Bachchan will be making his appearance on the big screen for the first time since The Archies released on OTT. Joining him is another fresh face, Simar Bhatia, niece of Bollywood star Akshay Kumar, who will make her debut with this film.
Although details of her character are still kept under wraps, she is set to star as the romantic lead opposite Agastya Nanda, and has already filmed some of her scenes.
The heartwarming relationship between a father and son during the 1971 Indo-Pak War is at the heart of the coming-of-age story of Ikkis. The film also stars veteran actor Dharmendra who plays Brigadier M.L. Khetarpal, Arun’s father, while Agastya Nanda plays Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal. Arun Khetarpal was awarded the Param Vir Chakra posthumously for his heroism in the 1971 Indo-Pakistani War.
