Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson, Agastya Nanda, who is set to star in the highly anticipated film Ikkis, recently treated fans to a sneak peek of the project on Instagram.
The actor shared an image on his Instagram stories, showing himself dressed in a white shirt with his back to the camera while seated on a brown chair. The chair bears the number 21, which translates to Ikkis in Hindi.
Directed by Sriram Raghavan, Ikkis is a war drama based on the life of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, a young soldier who was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra, India’s highest military honour, for his exemplary bravery during the Indo-Pakistani War of 1971.
Agastya will star alongside legendary actor Dharmendra and Jaideep Ahlawat in the film, which is produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films. Set to release on 10 January 2025, Ikkis promises to be a stirring cinematic tribute to one of India’s most celebrated war heroes.
Agastya Nanda is already gaining attention for his role in The Archies, Zoya Akhtar’s adaptation of the beloved Archie Comics. The film, which explores themes of friendship, love, heartbreak, and rebellion, introduces audiences to the fictional town of Riverdale. Agastya plays Archie Andrews and stars alongside Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor, Dot, Mihir Ahuja, Vedang Raina, and Yuvraj Menda.
While fans eagerly anticipate Ikkis, Agastya’s performance in The Archies has garnered praise, establishing him as a promising new talent in Indian cinema.
With Ikkis marking a significant milestone in his budding career, the film’s January 2025 release date is sure to be circled on calendars for fans of Agastya and lovers of impactful war dramas alike.
