Dharmendra, Agastya Nanda's Ikkis To Release On THIS Date
Last Updated: "Ikkis," a war drama with Dharmendra, Agastya Nanda, depicts Arun Khetarpal's bravery in the 1971 Indo-Pak war. The powerful war drama Ikkis is all set to storm the big screen on October 2, 2025. With legendary actor Dharmendra, Agastya Nanda (Amitabh Bachchan's grandson), and Jaideep Ahlawat in key roles, the film has finally confirmed its release date. The announcement dropped on Saturday evening through a compelling teaser video. Ikkis revisits the valour and sacrifice of Arun Khetarpal, India's youngest recipient of the Param Vir Chakra, and is set during the pivotal 1971 Indo-Pak war. Film critic and trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to social media to share key details about the much-awaited film. In his post, he confirmed the release date and cast lineup too. He wrote, 'DHARMENDRA – AGASTYA NANDA – JAIDEEP AHLAWAT: DINESH VIJAN ANNOUNCES 'IKKIS' RELEASE DATE… [Thursday] 2 Oct 2025 [#GandhiJayanti] is the release date of #Ikkis. Post #Badlapur, #NationalAward winning director #SriramRaghavan and #DineshVijan collaborate for #Ikkis, which stars #Dharmendra, #AgastyaNanda [grandson of #AmitabhBachchan] and #JaideepAhlawat. #Ikkis is a war-drama based on the life of Second Lieutenant #ArunKhetarpal #PVC." The teaser shared with the release date is emotional and powerful. It starts with a letter written during the 1971 Battle of Basantar, informing Arun Khetarpal's father that his son had died in action on December 16. The letter offers condolences for his loss. After this, we see scenes of war shown in dark silhouettes, followed by glimpses of Arun Khetarpal bravely fighting the enemies on the battlefield. Ikkis is directed by Sriram Raghavan and produced by Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films. It tells the real-life story of Arun Khetarpal, the youngest soldier to be awarded the Param Vir Chakra. Speaking to PTI, Raghavan shared that the film will stay true to reality and won't dramatise Khetarpal's story in a superhero-like way. 'It's not a comic-book hero version," he said. The film skips over his early years and focuses on his time as a young soldier who gave his life for the country just after turning 21. He further revealed, 'It is a bigger production; there will be tank battles and all those things that happen in a war film. But it is also a human story; it's a drama, a coming-of-age kind of a thing." First Published:

Before Bhediya 2, Varun Dhawan And Dinesh Vijan May Join Forces For Standalone Mytho-Horror
Last Updated: Varun Dhawan and Dinesh Vijan are reportedly collaborating on a new mytho-horror film with comedic elements before they begin work on Bhediya 2. Varun Dhawan and producer Dinesh Vijan are reportedly all set to reunite for an exciting new film—and it's not Bhediya 2. While the actor and producer have shared a successful track record with projects like Badlapur and Bhediya, their latest collaboration might be something completely fresh and unexpected. According to industry insiders, close to the entertainment portal PinkVilla, Varun is in advanced talks with Vijan's Maddock Films for a standalone mytho-horror comedy—a genre-blending entertainer laced with supernatural elements, rooted mythology, and generous doses of humour. 'Varun and Dinesh are definitely reuniting for Bhediya 2, but that film has seen a shift in its shooting schedule. In the meantime, they're seriously exploring another unique concept—a mytho-horror film with comedic undertones," reveals a source close to the development. Interestingly, the duo is also eyeing two more scripts, but this particular horror-comedy is currently leading the pack. 'This project won't be part of Maddock's existing horror comedy universe. It's not connected to Stree, Roohi, or Bhediya. It's an entirely new, standalone story," the source clarifies, adding that while discussions are ongoing, an official announcement might come by July. Casting for the female lead is still underway. Varun Dhawan, meanwhile, is juggling a packed schedule. He's currently shooting for Hai Jawaani Toh Ishq Hona Hai, directed by his father David Dhawan, followed by pending portions of Border 2, where he stars alongside Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty. He is also part of Anees Bazmee's No Entry 2, adding another comedy to his growing lineup. As a bonus treat for fans, Varun will make a special appearance as Bhediya in Maddock's upcoming horror-comedy Thama, which is slated for a Diwali 2025 release. Whether it's mythological scares or monster mayhem, Varun and Vijan's partnership continues to promise genre-bending fun with a commercial punch. First Published: May 24, 2025, 21:53 IST
