Ikkis is about the life of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, India’s youngest lieutenant, who was awarded the Param Vir Chakra posthumously. He is still remembered across borders for his bravery during the 1971 Indo-Pakistan War.
The film has been produced by Dinesh Vijan's Maddock films, and written by Raghavan, Pooja Ladha Surti and Arijit Biswas.
Rahul Dev, Sikandar Kher, Vivaan Shah, Deepak Dobriyal, and Simar Bhatia are also part of the cast.
An excerpt of Outlook India review of Ikkis reads: "This film, despite its weighty subject, positions itself as a fantastic benchmark in 2026. Though uneven at times, it attempts a mature and responsible approach to war storytelling. Overall, Ikkis proves to be a fantastic palate cleanser to the nationalist drama genre, balancing the appetite for action with the very real human costs of war."
