2026 began with the premiere of Sriram Raghavan's military drama. The film, which starred Agastya Nanda, Jaideep Ahlawat, Simar Bhatia, and Dharmendra, opened in the theatres with positive reviews.

Ikkis is based on the remarkable life of India's youngest Param Vir Chakra recipient, Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal.

In the movie, Agastya plays Khetarpal, and in his last role, cinematic icon Dharmendra plays his father. A little more than a month before the movie's premiere, as the film marks the last on-screen appearance of the legendary veteran actor Dharmendra, who passed away on November 24 due to age-related ailments. The war drama is directed by Sriram Ragha.
