Bollywood superstar Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson Agastya Nanda’s much-awaited film ‘Ikkis’ may have had its release postponed, but the makers have consistently kept the audience’s anticipation high. The film is now set to release in theaters on January 1, 2026, and in this vein, its final trailer has been released. The most poignant aspect of this film is that ‘Ikkis’ is the last film featuring veteran actor Dharmendra on the big screen. Following his passing on November 24, 2025, this film will be a memorable experience for his fans.
What is the film’s trailer like?
The final trailer of ‘Ikkis’ looks quite powerful. The 2-minute 11-second trailer begins with the heavy and impactful voice of Jaideep Ahlawat, who says that he still remembers the smell of smoke and gunpowder, and that they were about to change history, but a boy changed their destiny. Following this, the trailer shows intense war scenes, gunshots, and explosions.
Agastya Nanda’s role
Agastya Nanda appears confident in his army uniform as Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, and his look is quite impressive. The trailer ends on an emotional note, with Dharmendra smiling, and Rajesh Khanna’s famous song ‘Zindagi Ek Safar Hai Suhana’ playing in the background, making the entire atmosphere even more memorable.
What is Dharmendra’s role?
In the film, Dharmendra plays the role of Arun Khetarpal’s father. The cast of ‘Ikkis’ also includes Jaideep Ahlawat, Sameer Bhatia, and Sikandar Kher in important roles. This war biopic is directed by Sriram Raghavan, who has previously directed acclaimed films like ‘Andhadhun’.
The film’s new release date
‘Ikkis’ was initially scheduled for release on December 25th, but the makers postponed it by a week. Now, the film will hit theaters on New Year’s Day, January 1, 2026. This true story, based on the life of India’s brave son, Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, has already generated considerable excitement among audiences. Now, it remains to be seen how this emotional and patriotic film performs at the box office.
