Overview

• Ikkis was previously slated for October 2 and is now reported to open on November 7, according to Bollywood Hungama and News18 citing unnamed sources rather than an official announcement.
• The new date pits Ikkis against Ek Din, starring Junaid Khan and Sai Pallavi, directed by Sunil Pandey and produced by Aamir Khan Productions after a shoot in Sapporo during the Snow Festival.
• Sources frame the change as a scheduling decision to sidestep an October 2 lineup that includes Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari and Kantara: A Legend – Chapter 1 and to benefit from the post-Diwali corridor.
• Ikkis is a 1971 war drama about Param Vir Chakra awardee Second Lieutenant Arun Khetrapal, led by Agastya Nanda with Dharmendra and Jaideep Ahlawat in key roles.
• The film marks Agastya Nanda’s theatrical debut, and its head-to-head date with Junaid Khan’s Ek Din underscores a high-profile faceoff between two star-led launches.
