The final trailer for Agastya Nanda and Dharmendra’s biographical war drama ‘Ikkis’ was unveiled on Friday to give viewers a deeper look into the life of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, one of India’s youngest and most celebrated war heroes.
 

The film, which marks Dharmendra’s posthumous screen appearance, is set to release two weeks from now.
