In Ikkis, the 24-year-old actor essays the role of Khetarpal, who was martyred at the age of 21 during the Battle of Basantar in the 1971 Indo-Pak war. For his courage and sacrifice, he was posthumously awarded the Param Vir Chakra, making him the youngest recipient of India’s highest military honour at the time.

Veteran actor Dharmendra, as well as actors Jaideep Ahlawat and Sikander Kher, round out the cast of Ikkis.
