  • On Tuesday, Maddock Films unveiled two posters showing Agastya Nanda as Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal on his birth anniversary.
  • Announced in 2019, the project is a biographical war drama about Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, delayed by the coronavirus pandemic after Varun Dhawan was originally attached.
  • Producer Dinesh Vijan's Maddock Films confirmed shooting has wrapped and the film is directed by Sriram Raghavan with Dharmendra, Jaideep Ahlawat, Sikandar Kher, and Agastya Nanda starring.
  • Agastya Nanda's theatrical debut in Ikkis marks his first major lead after The Archies, while Sriram Raghavan shifts from the crime-thriller genre to military drama.
  • Originally set for October 2, 2025, the release was postponed to avoid Kantara Chapter 1, with makers timing the reveal to Arun Khetarpal's birth anniversary using the tagline `Woh Ikkis ka tha, Ikkis ka hi rahega`.
