Ikka First Look Out: Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna in Netflix Courtroom Drama

Netflix revealed the first look video of Ikka on 3 February while announcing its India slate, and it quickly became a talking point. One big reason is that Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna are working together again, almost 29 years after Border. That alone grabbed attention, but the film looks like more than just a reunion.

Ikka is a courtroom thriller, and the first look video makes it clear that the story is serious and intense. The film is directed by Siddharth P Malhotra, who earlier made Maharaj for Netflix. Ikka follows a lawyer trapped in a situation where every choice leads to loss. With a strong supporting cast, the film has sparked curiosity about what it will offer.

Cast of Ikka: Sunny Deol as the lawyer

Sunny Deol plays a respected lawyer known for always doing the right thing. He has built his career on honesty and strict principles. But everything changes when he is forced to defend a man from his past, someone he never wanted to face again. The role may remind viewers of Damini's role, where Sunny also played a lawyer, but this time the fight is much more personal. To protect his family, he may have to break every rule he once believed in. The first look shows him preparing for a case where losing could cost him everything.

Cast of Ikka: Akshaye Khanna as the murder accused

Akshaye Khanna plays the man accused of murder. He shares a dark and painful history with Sunny Deol’s character, which makes the courtroom battle deeply personal. Fans have already noted that Akshaye’s look in the first look video is similar to his character from Dhurandhar, hinting at another intense and dangerous role. His character is not someone who will back down easily, setting up the main conflict of the film.

Cast of Ikka: Dia Mirza in an important role

Dia Mirza is also part of the film, though details about her character are still under wraps. The story hints at old wounds connected to both male leads, so she is likely tied to their shared past. Since Dia chooses her projects carefully, her presence suggests the role is meaningful and not just a minor appearance.

Cast of Ikka: Tillotama Shome in a crucial role

Tillotama Shome joins the ensemble, and she is known for choosing complex, layered roles. Her casting suggests the film will go beyond standard courtroom drama. The makers have described Ikka as an ensemble film, so her character is expected to play an important part in the story.

About Ikka:

Ikka is about a lawyer whose entire life is built on principles. When he is forced to defend a man he once destroyed professionally, now facing murder charges, he must win at any cost. Even if it means crossing moral lines he once refused to touch. The film explores how far people are willing to go when their family is under threat, making it darker and more complicated than a typical legal drama.

Netflix has not announced an exact release date yet, but Ikka is set to release in 2026. Sunny Deol is coming off the success of Border 2, while Akshaye Khanna recently delivered a big hit with Dhurandhar. With strong performances, a courtroom setting, and personal stakes, Ikka is shaping up to be one of Netflix’s most talked-about releases of the year.
