In Ikkis, Sikandar will portray the life of a dedicated army man and his character is expected to bring resilience, discipline, and heroism synonymous to the screen, with the Indian armed forces. The actor has already begun preparation for the role. Talking about the opportunity and his preparation, Sikandar said, “I have always looked forward to a Sriram Raghavan film… he has his own language of film making. It’s a unique perspective on a story, the way it unfolds is so gripping, and for me as an actor I’ve always wanted to be a part of his cinematic universe.”
Going further, he also opened up about his collaboration with Maddock Films and said, “And then we have a visionary producer like Dinesh Vijan, the kind of films he’s backed and how he’s stood behind them with complete faith is just amazing. Both of them along with Poonam Vijan make a terrific team. The cool thing about being an actor is getting a chance to do things you normally would’nt get to do. You see and learn so many things that you wouldn’t otherwise experience. That’s exactly what’s happening on Ikkis – the background of the armed forces, the war and especially the heroes we are playing is not just an honour but a privilege. I’m lucky to be a part of this film, and I hope I do well.”
Coming to the film, Ikkis marks the theatrical debut of Agastya Nanda, grandson of Amitabh Bachchan, who made his film debut alongside Suhana Khan and Khushi Kapoor in The Archies. Set against the backdrop of the 1971 war, the film follows the life of second Lieutenant Arun Khetrapal essayed by Nanda. The film also features Dharmendra, Jaideep Ahlawat, among others in key roles.
