Carrying the spirit of brave storytelling into the New Year, Ikkis will now release in cinemas on 1st January 2026. Producer Dinesh Vijan continues his proven strategy of choosing clarity over clashes a move that earlier worked strongly in favour of Hindi Medium and Chhaava, both of which benefitted from a clear theatrical run.

Directed by Sriram Raghavan, Ikkis marks his first war film and brings to life the extraordinary true story of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, India’s youngest Param Vir Chakra awardee. As 2026 begins, Ikkis invites audiences to start the year with courage, conviction and a story that has inspired generations. 

Releasing in cinemas on January 1. Watch the final Ikkis trailer in theatres this weekend.
