Netflix has released the teaser for its forthcoming movie Ikka, which has already generated buzz online. This is mainly due to the intense confrontation between Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna. The teaser suggests a gritty courtroom drama filled with power conflicts and ethical challenges.
Sharing the teaser, Netflix wrote, “Kanoon ya khoon ka rishta, kiske haath mein hai iss khel ka ikka? Watch Ikka, coming soon, only on Netflix."
The movie stars Sunny Deol, Akshaye Khanna, Dia Mirza, and Tillotama Shome in key roles. In the teaser, Deol portrays an intense lawyer, while Khanna is shown in the defendant's seat, facing interrogation in court. A significant moment features Deol challenging Khanna, capturing the interest of fans who remember their past collaborations on screen.
What has notably captured attention is Akshaye Khanna's on-screen charisma. With slumped shoulders, a downcast look, and his signature intense gaze, the actor has brought back memories of his memorable role as Rehman Dakait in Dhurandhar. Social media users were swift to make comparisons.
A fan remarked, "Rehman Dakait has returned," and another added, "THE TRUE ORIGINALS ARE BACK TO DOMINATE BOLLYWOOD ONCE MORE." Some viewers also pointed out the reunion of Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna after almost thirty years, with one fan observing, "The stars of Border 1 and 2 face-to-face after 29 years."
Some people were reminded of Deol's memorable courtroom scenes from Damini. A fan commented, "This feels like date after date," referencing the famous line from the movie.
The film, directed and produced by Siddharth P Malhotra, features a cast that includes Dia Mirza, Tillotama Shome, Sanjeeda Shaikh, and Akansha Ranjan Kapoor, alongside Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna. Audience enthusiasm is clear from the responses posted on Instagram. The streaming service has not yet revealed the movie's official release date.
