Release Date for ‘Ikkis’ Delayed to January 2026
The much-anticipated war drama Ikkis, featuring Agastya Nanda—grandson of the legendary Amitabh Bachchan—will now be released on January 1, 2026. The film was initially set to debut on December 25, but the creators have decided to shift the date.
This change places Ikkis as the first Bollywood film to premiere in the new year, offering fans something special to look forward to. The news was shared by Maddock Films on social media, where they highlighted the film’s powerful message, suggesting that viewers might “gift themselves courage” this new year. They also hinted at the release of an exciting final trailer this weekend.
The film is based on the true story of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, who was awarded the Param Vir Chakra during the 1971 Indo-Pak War. Directed by Sriram Raghavan, known for his gripping storytelling, this marks his debut in the war film genre.
Producers have shared that the change in release date is a strategic move to steer clear of box-office competition, ensuring that Ikkis gets the attention it deserves. Alongside Agastya, the film features a talented cast, including Jaideep Ahlawat and Simar Bhatia, with a special appearance by Dharmendra, adding emotional weight to the project.
As Ikkis approaches its new release date, fans are eager for the trailer, which is expected to amplify excitement and anticipation for this tribute to bravery and sacrifice.
