Filmmaker Sriram Raghavan's upcoming film 'Ikkis' is described as an anti-war statement, focusing on the human cost of conflict rather than glorifying it. The film, starring Dharmendra as Brigadier Madan Lal Khetarpal, explores themes of homecoming and the lasting impact of war, particularly through the lens of Partition. Raghavan's approach reportedly contrasts with typical Hindi cinema's portrayal of war, emphasizing survival and the desire for peace over battlefield bravado.
