The article from Times of India discusses the trailer release of *Ikkis*, a war biopic directed by Sriram Raghavan, featuring Agastya Nanda in the lead role as Arun Khetarpal, India's youngest Param Vir Chakra recipient. The film vividly portrays the courageous life and ultimate sacrifice of Khetarpal during the 1971 Indo-Pak war, particularly highlighting his valor in the Battle of Basantar. Agastya Nanda's portrayal is described as powerful, bringing emotional depth to the young war hero's story by balancing grit, patriotism, and humanity. *Ikkis* not only captures Khetarpal's bravery but also aims to reflect his youthful spirit and the human emotions behind the soldier's extraordinary courage. The movie is a significant debut for Agastya Nanda, who underwent intensive army training to prepare for his role, which has deepened his respect for the armed forces. The film also stars veteran actors Dharmendra and Jaideep Ahlawat and is expected to be a gripping and realistic tribute to an unsung war hero. It is scheduled for theatrical release in December 2025[2][4][5][6][7].
