As the nation embraces the spirit of patriotism, Maddock Films sets the tone for the beginning of 2026 with Ikkis - a powerful and deeply moving patriotic story that brings to light the extraordinary life of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, India’s youngest Param Vir Chakra awardee. Known for backing compelling, content-driven cinema, Maddock Films once again steps forward to tell a story that deserves to be remembered.

A heartfelt tribute to a hero whose courage went far beyond the battlefield, Ikkis uncovers unseen chapters of bravery, conviction, and sacrifice that never found their way into textbooks or documentaries. The film goes beyond the familiar narrative of war, rediscovering the man behind the legend - his resolve, his quiet strength, and the legacy he left behind at just 21.

Marking the start of 2026, Ikkis stands as Maddock Films’ tribute to an unsung hero of the nation, reminding audiences that some of India’s greatest stories are still waiting to be told. More than a film, Ikkis is a stirring reminder of what it truly means to serve the nation, making it a defining patriotic offering as India steps into a new year.

Starring late Dharmendra Ji, Agastya Nanda, Simar Bhatia and Jaideep Alahwat, directed by national award winner Sriram Raghavan and backed by Dinesh Vijan’s Maddock Films, Ikkis is slated to release on the silver screen on January 1st, 2026!
