Agastya Nanda's Debut Promises Powerful Portrayal of Param Vir Chakra Recipient

On October 30, 2025, the trailer for the upcoming film Ikkis has generated significant buzz, with its focus on the life of a young war hero. The film stars Agastya Nanda in his theatrical debut, portraying the role of Second Lieutenant Arun Kheterpal, who was posthumously awarded India's highest military honor, the Param Vir Chakra.

The trailer offers a glimpse into the emotional and courageous story, balancing the soldier's bravery on the battlefield with the grief of his family. Veteran actor Dharmendra appears to hold the film together strongly, adding to the anticipation surrounding the project.

Ikkis is the latest in a series of recent high-profile trailers, following the releases of Yami Gautam and Emraan Hashmi's Haq, the second trailer of Baahubali: The Epic, and Ashish Chanchalani's Ekaki. However, the focus on Agastya Nanda's debut and the film's subject matter have made Ikkis a standout in the recent trailer lineup.

The trailer's lack of jingoistic slogans and its focus on the soldier's spirit have been praised, with the lead character's determination to bring the next Param Vir Chakra for his regiment resonating strongly. Ikkis promises to be a hard-hitting and courageous story that celebrates the genuine, sacrifice-driven nationalism embodied by the young war hero.
