'Ikkis' Shifts Release Date to Avoid 'Dhuranthar' Storm & 'Avatar' Clash!

• 'Ikkis', starring Agastya Nanda and Dharmendra, has postponed its release from December 25, 2025, to January 1, 2026.
• The decision was made to avoid a box office clash with Ranveer Singh's highly successful film 'Dhuranthar' and the Hollywood giant 'Avatar'.
• Both 'Ikkis' and 'Dhuranthar' are patriotic films, making a direct clash detrimental to collections.
• Producer Dinesh Vijan is known for strategically shifting release dates to ensure films get a clear run, as seen with 'Hindi Medium' and 'Chhaava'.
• 'Ikkis' is a tribute to Param Vir Chakra recipient Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, directed by Sriram Raghavan.

Why It Matters: 'Ikkis' strategically moves to Jan 1, 2026, to ensure box office success by avoiding major clashes.
