Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna-starrer courtroom drama titled Ikka helmed by Siddharth P. Malhotra is all set to premiere on July 10 on the streaming giant Netflix.
Speaking about the film, Siddharth P. Malhotra shared in a statement, “As a storyteller, I'm always looking for stories that challenge me emotionally and creatively, and IKKA has been one such journey. I've always been a huge fan of courtroom dramas, and this is a subject that has been incredibly close to my heart for many years.”
The filmmaker said Ikka was one of the first stories he ever wanted to bring to the screen. “What drew me to Ikka was the opportunity to tell a courtroom story that focuses as much on personal relationships and emotional dilemmas as it does on the pursuit of justice. To finally tell this story with a cast of the calibre of Sunny Deol, Akshaye Khanna, Dia Mirza and Tillotama Shome feels truly special.”
Heaping praise on Sunny Deol, he said having him step into the role of a lawyer, a character space audiences have so loved him in, alongside such phenomenal performers, felt like everything coming together at the right time.
The film, which also stars Tillotama Shome and Dia Mirza, unfolds as a high-stakes legal battle. At the centre is a celebrated lawyer, played by Sunny Deol, forced to defend a man from his past, essayed by Akshaye Khanna, whose return reopens old wounds and compels him to take on a case that challenges everything he believes in.
Tillotama stars as a formidable public prosecutor determined to see justice served, while Dia plays a devoted wife and mother fighting to hold her family together.
Produced by Alchemy Films and directed by Siddharth P. Malhotra, IKKA marks Sunny Deol’s streaming debut. Ikka premieres on July 10, only on Netflix.
