Actor Vivaan Shah, son of veteran actors Naseeruddin Shah and Ratna Pathak Shah, admitted to being typecast due to his youthful appearance. However, Ikkis marked a turning point for him, as he felt he had finally shed the tag of typecasting by playing an army officer in Sriram Raghavan`s latest release. 

Speaking with ANI, Vivaan described Ikkis as an important film of his career. "Ikkis is a very important film of my life... It was challenging, too, because I had never played such a role before. Because of my appearance, I don`t often get roles like an army officer or a police inspector. I look quite young and don`t naturally fit the image of a tough guy.
