Ikka first look: Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna are all set to reunite on screen after almost three decades for a new drama named Ikka. The two actors were last seen in the iconic film Border. Netflix India unveiled the first look teaser of Ikka on Tuesday (February 3).
About Ikka
The teaser showed Sunny gearing up to fight a crucial case in court, very much reminiscent of his now iconic role in Damini, where he had also played a lawyer. Meanwhile, Akshaye seems to be playing a menacing character who won't back down without proving his point. He arrives and stands in for his testimony, as the teaser gives a sneak peek into the chaos and intrigue of the case.
“A celebrated, incorruptible lawyer is arm-twisted into defending a murder accused, a man whose career he'd notoriously ended, pushing him to use every trick in the trade, ethical or not, to win the case because if he fails, he stands to lose everything he holds dear,” read the official synopsis of the title.

Reacting to the teaser, a fan commented, “Ultimate Combo! Sunny Deol with Akshay Khanna.” Another said, “Akshaye looks as if he is still playing Rahman Dakait!” “Can't wait for these two to come on screen after so many years!” read a comment.
A release date for Ikka has yet to be announced.
Meanwhile, Sunny was recently seen in the war drama Border 2. The film has been running successfully at the box office and has already crossed ₹ 280 crore within two weeks of release.
