It opens to show a determined Agastya Nanda who vows to earn the prestigious Param Vir Chakra for his regiment. As the trailer progresses, Agastya as Arun Khetarpal could be seen training hard at the academy, eventually joining the forces for the Indo-Pak war.

The trailer concludes with Arun Khetarpal's famous final words, "No, Sir. I will not abandon my tank. My gun is still working. I'll get these b****rds."

Since its release, the trailer has received rave reviews from fans and celebrities alike. Amitabh Bachchan also penned an emotional note for his grandson and expressed pride.

TODAY you play in Theatres all over the World .. You are SPECIAL .. all my prayers and blessings to you .. may you ever bring glory to your work and the greatest PRIDE for the family," Amitabh Bachchan wrote.

Directed by Sriram Raghavan and produced by Dinesh Vijan, 'Ikkis' also features Dharmendra, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Simar Bhatia.

Agastya Nanda has big shoes to fill as Amitabh Bachchan's grandson, but the trailer looks promising. Good to see fresh talent getting meaningful roles instead of just commercial masala films.

Sriram Raghavan directing a war film? That's interesting! After Andhadhun and Badlapur, curious to see how he handles this genre. The casting looks perfect with Dharmendra and Jaideep Ahlawat.
