Mukesh Chhabra, the famous casting director known for films like Dil Bechara, has shared his first thoughts on the upcoming movie Ikkis. He calls Dharmendra’s performance “deeply moving.”

The veteran actor plays a key role, bringing raw emotion that touches the heart. Chhabra also praises Jaideep Ahlawat highly. Known for his intense roles in Raazi and Jaane Jaan, Ahlawat shines again here. Chhabra says his work adds power to the story.
Adding excitement, the film marks the Bollywood debuts of Agastya Nanda (grandson of Amitabh Bachchan) as Arun Khetarpal and Simar Bhatia. Chhabra hints their fresh energy fits perfectly, blending seamlessly with the stellar cast.
The film, directed by Sagar Ambre and Vipin Agnihotri, feels “gentle” overall, says Chhabra. It mixes war drama with family bonds, based on the life of Arun Khetarpal, India’s youngest Param Vir Chakra winner. Dharmendra plays the father, while Ahlawat stars alongside the newcomers.
Ikkis looks set to be an emotional ride. With strong acting and a heartfelt script, it could win big hearts. Fans are excited for its release. Chhabra’s review builds hype—watch out for this one!
