Overview
- Maddock Films announced the new New Year’s Day theatrical release and said the final trailer will play in cinemas this weekend.
- Trade analyst Taran Adarsh cited the ongoing Dhurandhar box-office surge and the India rollout of Avatar: Fire and Ash on December 19 as key scheduling pressures.
- Shifting to January 1 positions Ikkis for a solo launch with stronger screen and show allocation than the original December 25 plan.
- The film is a biopic of Param Vir Chakra awardee Second Lt. Arun Khetarpal, featuring Agastya Nanda and the late Dharmendra in his final screen role, and marks Raghavan’s first war film.
- Reports based on the film’s poster indicate a post-theatrical streaming run on Amazon Prime Video, though no OTT date has been announced.
