Maddock Films has pushed the release of war drama Ikkis, directed by Sriram Raghavan and starring Agastya Nanda in the lead. The film, based on Param Vir Chakra awardee Arun Khetarpal, will now open the new year in theatres

Still from Ikkis
The release of the upcoming war drama Ikkis has been pushed by a week. The film, headlined by Agastya Nanda, was set to hit the big screens on December 25. However, on Wednesday, the makers announced that the film will now be released in theatres a week later, on January 1, 2026. This will mark the first theatrical release of the year. Ikkis, directed by Sriram Raghavan, marks the last film of late Dharmendra.
The postponement of Ikkis comes as Ranveer Singh-starrer Dhurandhar continues to cause havoc at the box office. The film, which was released in theatres on December 5, is enjoying an exceptional run even in its second week and is expected to maintain the momentum into its third week. Apart from this, Hollywood biggie Avatar: Fire and Ash is also set to release in theatres on December 19.
