A moment of deep pride and humility marked the special preview of Ikkis, as the Defence Forces and the Indian Army witnessed the film in the presence of Honourable Defence Minister Shri Rajnath Singh, General Anil Chauhan, Chief of the Defence Staff, and General Upendra Dwivedi, Chief of the Army Staff.
The film was warmly received and applauded as a heartfelt and respectful tribute to Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, Param Vir Chakra — a story that, in their words, every Indian must watch. The preview stood as a powerful acknowledgement of the courage, sacrifice and unwavering sense of duty that Ikkis seeks to honour. For the entire film team, the appreciation extended by those who serve the nation every day added profound meaning to the journey of telling this story — not just as cinema, but as a mark of remembrance and respect.
Ikkis releases in cinemas on 1st January 2026.
Experience courage on the big screen.
