Talking about the opportunity and his preparation, Sikandar said, “I have always looked forward to a Sriram Raghavan film .. he has his own language of filmmaking.. it’s a unique perspective on a story, the way it unfolds is so gripping, and for me, as an actor, I’ve always wanted to be a part of his cinematic universe.”

He also added that they have a visionary producer like Dinesh Vijan, the kind of films he’s backed and how he’s stood behind them with complete faith is just amazing.

He further added that both of them along with Poonam Vijan (Maddock Films) make a terrific team and the cool thing about being an actor is getting a chance to do things you normally wouldn’t get to do.

“You see and learn so many things that you wouldn’t otherwise experience. That’s exactly what’s happening on Ikkis … the background of the armed forces, the war, and especially the heroes we are playing is not just an honor but a privilege. I’m lucky to be a part of this film, and I hope I do well,” Sikandar said.
