Makers of Ikkis drop final trailer after film’s | Indian Movie News
Maddock Films has unveiled the final trailer of its upcoming movie Ikkis, a warfare drama based on the life of Param Vir Chakra awardee Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, whose bravery during the 1971 Indo-Pak warfare made him one of the youngest heroes to obtain India’s highest navy honour. The movie is now slated for a theatrical release on January 1, 2026.
Sharing the trailer, the makers described Ikkis as “a true story of unmatched courage,” calling Arun Khetarpal “a hero who was only 21 and became eternal.” The final trailer affords a glimpse into the soldier’s short yet extraordinary life, highlighting his fearlessness on the battlefield and the occasions that led to his final sacrifice for the nation.

The trailer release comes just days after the makers postponed the film’s release. Ikkis was initially scheduled to hit theatres on December 25, 2025, but was later pushed to January 1, 2026. While a number of studies advised the shift was made to keep away from a box-office conflict with Dharma Productions’ Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri, others speculated that the strong buzz around Dhurandhar could have influenced the choice. Adding another layer to the dialogue, Amitabh Bachchan just lately hinted on social media that astrology performed a position in the change of release date.
Directed by Sriram Raghavan, Ikkis options a strong ensemble forged including Dharmendra, Jaideep Ahlawat and Agastya Nanda. The movie marks Agastya’s first big-screen release following his debut in The Archies, which premiered on Netflix last yr. It also introduces Simar Bhatia, niece of Akshay Kumar, making her performing debut.
The movie is produced by Dinesh Vijan under the Maddock Films banner, with Sharada Karki Jalota, Poonam Shivdasani and Binny Padda serving as co-producers. The screenplay has been written by Sriram Raghavan along with Arijit Biswas and Pooja Ladha Surti.
