Ikkis Writers Address Dhurandhar Comparisons: "Can't Expect Moral Code Of Gangster Film To Align..."

  • Ikkis writers Pooja Ladha Surti and Arijit Biswas addressed comparisons between their film and Ranveer Singh's Dhurandhar.
  • Biswas highlighted the distinct settings, stating a gangster film's moral code cannot align with a war film's warrior code.
  • Surti emphasized that both films are different and can coexist, advocating against pitting them against each other.
  • Ikkis, a true story, chronicles Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal's life and his father's later battle, set during the 1971 Indo-Pak War.
  • Agastya Nanda plays Arun Khetarpal, India's youngest Param Vir Chakra recipient, with Dharmendra as his father in his final role.

Why It Matters: Ikkis writers clarify their war film's distinct moral code and setting from gangster film Dhurandhar, advocating coexistence.
