Age Factor: Varun Dhawan Replaced by Agastya Nanda in Sriram Raghavan's 'Ikkis'

• Agastya Nanda stars in Sriram Raghavan's 'Ikkis', based on Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal.
• Varun Dhawan was the initial choice for 'Ikkis' but was replaced due to age.
• Director Sriram Raghavan stated Varun was too old to portray a 19-year-old character.
• Agastya Nanda, 21 at casting, fit the role's requirement for a fresh, young face.
• The film is a true story about India's youngest Param Vir Chakra recipient.

Why It Matters: Varun Dhawan lost 'Ikkis' role to Agastya Nanda due to age, needing a younger actor.
