The freshly released promo highlights dramatic tank warfare moments from the 1971 Indo-Pak War, showcasing explosive battlefield visuals and the emotional intensity of young soldiers heading into combat. A brief but moving dialogue exchange hints at the deep camaraderie between the troops, building powerful momentum toward the film’s climactic confrontation. The visuals, combined with the swelling background score, set the stage for a high-stakes narrative rooted in real history.
Ikkis—meaning “21” in Hindi—is centered on the extraordinary life of Lieutenant Arun Khetrapal, the youngest-ever recipient of the Param Vir Chakra. The biopic explores his bravery during the Battle of Basantar, where he led a decisive tank charge at only 21 years old, ultimately sacrificing his life for the nation. Agastya Nanda, making his much-awaited acting debut, brings Khetrapal's valor to screen, while veteran actor Dharmendra plays his father, adding emotional depth to the story’s familial core.
Directed by the acclaimed Sriram Raghavan, Ikkis promises a gripping blend of patriotism, human resilience, and cinematic finesse. The promo’s visuals of the Indian flag, the countdown to release day, and the stirring wartime atmosphere reflect the film’s intent to honor real-life heroism with authenticity and heart. The presence of talented performers like Jaideep Ahlawat and Vivaan Shah further strengthens audience expectations.
With its global theatrical release set for December 25, 2025, Ikkis is shaping up to be one of the year’s most awaited films. Abhishek Bachchan’s promotional push, combined with the film’s emotional storyline and historical significance, has heightened excitement across social media. As the countdown intensifies, viewers are preparing to witness a compelling cinematic tribute to one of India’s greatest war heroes.
