Akanksha Ranjan adds Akshaye Khanna's 'Dhurandhar' magic to Sunny Deol's 'Ikka'
Mumbai, July 11
Actress Akanksha Ranjan, whose latest release is the courtroom drama "Ikka", has hopped onto the Dhurandhar fever, giving a fun twist to the Sunny Deol-starrer.
Akanksha, who plays a pivotal role in the film starring both Akshay and Sunny, shared a few BTS moments from the shoot and filming. The first featured her getting her fake blood on herself.
A video featured a scene from the film where Akshay's character murders Akanksha's character in the film. A few other peeks included a moment from the sets.
Akanksha, who made her acting debut with Guilty in 2020, added a dialogue inspired by Akshaye's much-talked-about character Rehman Dakait from the blockbuster "Dhurandhar" for the caption.
She wrote: "Rehman Dakait ki di hui maut badi kasainuma hoti hain... Have you watched Ikka yet?? #JusticeForSomaMittal #Ikka."
Ikka is a legal thriller film directed and produced by Siddharth P. Malhotra. The film centers on a celebrated, incorruptible lawyer who faces a moral dilemma when forced to defend a degenerate accused of murder in order to save his daughter. The film also stars Dia Mirza, Tillotama Shome, and Sanjeeda Sheikh.
Meanwhile, Dhurandhar is directed by Aditya Dhar. It is based on a high-stakes covert counter-terrorism operation. The film follows an undercover Indian intelligence agent who infiltrates Karachi's criminal syndicates and political power structures in Pakistan in an effort to dismantle a terror network targeting India.
The second installment traces the story of an undercover Indian intelligence agent who continues to infiltrate Karachi's criminal syndicates and Pakistani politics while avenging the 26/11 attacks and confronting bigger threats. The film's storyline draws loosely on several real-life geopolitical events and conflicts in South Asia.
The film features Ranveer Singh, Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, Arjun Rampal, R. Madhavan, Sara Arjun, Rakesh Bedi, Gaurav Gera, and Danish Pandor.

Honestly, I'm getting tired of Bollywood recycling dialogues for marketing. Akanksha seems talented, but let her work speak for itself instead of hitching onto Dhurandhar's success. Also, "Ikka" sounds like a standard legal thriller—dont know if it'll stand out. Just being honest!
That dialogue from Dhurandhar is iconic—chills every time! Akanksha's BTS posts are a fun way to bridge two big films. "Ikka" has a great ensemble (Dia Mirza, Tillotama Shome), and the moral dilemma angle sounds gripping. Hoping it does justice to the courtroom genre. 🇮🇳🎬
As someone who loves cross-film references, this is clever marketing! Akanksha's "Rehman Dakait" caption is a smart nod to Akshaye's brilliance. "Ikka" sounds like a solid thriller—fingers crossed it delivers the emotional punch it promises. The cast is stacked!
Akanksha is so underrated—her role in Guilty was chilling, and now this! The BTS with fake blood looks intense. 😱 "Ikka" seems to tackle deep moral questions, and I'm all for that. Plus, any crossover with Dhurandhar's universe is a bonus. Hope this gets the recognition it deserves!
The way Bollywood is milking Dhurandhar's hype is getting old. Akanksha is talented, but this feels like an ad for
