Raghavan Reveals Why Varun Dhawan Was Replaced by Agastya Nanda in 'Ikkis'

• Director Sriram Raghavan initially cast Varun Dhawan for 'Ikkis' but later replaced him with Agastya Nanda.
• Raghavan stated Varun was deemed too old to convincingly play the 19-year-old Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal.
• COVID-19 pandemic caused delays, further impacting the casting decision due to age suitability.
• Agastya Nanda, 21 at casting, was a more natural fit for the young role and could dedicate years to the project.
• Agastya's performance has garnered praise from Amitabh Bachchan and Arun Khetarpal's brother.

Why It Matters: Varun Dhawan was replaced in 'Ikkis' by Agastya Nanda due to age and COVID-related delays.
