Back in 2023, Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson Agastya Nanda began his acting journey with The Archies, alongside Sridevi’s daughter Khushi Kapoor and Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter Suhana Khan. The Zoya Akhtar film, which released on OTT, failed to impress. But with Ikkis, Agastya’s theatrical debut, the young actor got a second chance to win audiences over. So far, according to initial Twitter reviews, fans believe Agastya has done a sincere job portraying Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, PVC. Well, apart from netizens, the young actor is also receiving praise from his co-stars.
Akshay Kumar’s niece Simar Bhatia, who has made her Bollywood debut with Ikkis, penned a heartwarming note for her dearest co-star Agastya Nanda and the rest of the team recently. Along with BTS pics, Simar shared, “To my director, @sriram.raghavanofficial, it is an honour to be introduced into the world of cinema by you. Thank you for your gentleness, patience, and love for storytelling. That passion is something I carry forward. Aggy, I have grown so fond of you. You are truly incredible in this film. I can’t wait for the world to witness the greatness of 2/Lt Arun Khetrapal through you. Thank you for making this journey feel shared, never lonely. To our DOP, Anil sir, thank you for finding my best angles before I even knew they existed, and for making the camera feel like home. To the entire team of IKKIS. The ones behind the camera, the ones who shaped the world of the film, the technicians, the people who decided which silhouette I wore, which fabric I carried, and which strand of hair framed my face. Thank you for taking care of me and sharing your laughter so generously. This entire experience would not have been possible without one person. Dinu sir, I am deeply grateful to you for your trust.”
