Mumbai, Dec 18 || Late star Dharmendra’s final film “Ikkis” has been postponed to January 1, following the blockbuster second weekend of the spy thriller “Dhurandhar.” Megastar Amitabh Bachchan, whose grandson Agastya Nanda stars in the film, shared his thoughts on the delay.
“Ikkis” was first scheduled to release October 2, which was later shifted. It was then scheduled for a Christmas release on December 25 alongside Kartik Aaryan’s romantic comedy drama “Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri.” However, it is now set for a solo release on January 1.
Taking to his blog, Amitabh wrote: "IKKIS pehle PACCHIS (25) ko thi, ab hogi CHHABBIS (26), pehli (1) ko; kuch jyotish vidya wale kahe, bhai, shagun hai accha, chale chalo, bas chale chalo!!"
Directed by Sriram Raghavan, the war drama is based on the life of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal and centres on the Battle of Basantar during the 1971 India–Pakistan War.
