Ikka story
According to the official description, Ikka “unfolds as a high-stakes legal battle where personal history, moral conflict, and clashing ideologies collide. At the centre is a celebrated lawyer (Sunny Deol) forced to defend a man from his past (Akshaye Khanna), whose return reopens old wounds and compels him to take on a case that challenges everything he believes in. With a family to protect and principles on the line, every move carries a cost.”
What Siddharth P. Malhotra said about the film
Siddharth P. Malhotra, in a statement, shared that as a storyteller, he is “always looking for stories that challenge me emotionally and creatively,” and Ikka is one such project for him. Malhotra is a fan of courtroom dramas, and the genre has been very close to his heart for many years.
What drew him to the film “was the opportunity to tell a courtroom story that focuses as much on personal relationships and emotional dilemmas as it does on the pursuit of justice.”
“After the incredible journey of Maharaj, it has been wonderful to collaborate with Netflix once again on a film that is deeply emotional, character-driven and rooted in powerful storytelling,” he added.
