The trailer for Ikkis, featuring Agastya Nanda alongside Simar Bhatia, has been released, and it’s already capturing hearts in Bollywood. Beyond its compelling narrative of bravery, this moment is significant for the Kumar-Khanna family. This film marks the debut of Akshay Kumar’s beloved niece, Simar, prompting her proud uncle to share in the excitement.

Akshay took to Instagram, expressing, “My little Simi’s not so little anymore… from your living room performances to the big screen in #Ikkis, heart bursting with pride! @simarbhatia18 And Agastya, what screen presence!

Well done, my talented little one ❤️.” Simar responded graciously, noting, “Thank you so much for this. People pay for your words. I just got blessed.”

Simar is the daughter of Akshay Kumar’s sister, Alka Bhatia. Known for her close ties to her uncle and aunt, she has always been a cherished part of the family. Akshay has often praised her talent, and now with Ikkis, she is poised to make a lasting impression on the silver screen.

Directed by National Award-winning filmmaker Sriram Raghavan, Ikkis tells the tale of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, the youngest recipient of the Param Vir Chakra in India. Agastya Nanda takes on the role of this courageous 21-year-old soldier, battling with unmatched valor. The trailer begins with his vow to earn the next Param Vir Chakra for his regiment, showcasing his heartfelt journey through training and emotion-filled moments with his loved ones.

Veteran actor Dharmendra plays Arun’s grandfather, a proud war hero, while Jaideep Ahlawat portrays a Pakistani officer who acknowledges Arun’s bravery, admired even across borders. For Simar, this is just the beginning of a promising career.
