Filmmaker Sriram Raghavan's upcoming movie 'Ikkis,' a dramatization of the 1971 war hero Arun Khetarpal's story, is noted for its departure from his previous thrillers. The film features veteran actors Dharmendra and Asrani, with Dharmendra portraying Khetarpal's father visiting Pakistan. The inclusion of tributes to Asrani and Dharmendra, who passed away recently, adds a meta-narrative layer, reflecting on memory, performance, and the human potentials of love and compassion.
