Siddharth Malhotra on Ikka
Speaking about the film, director Siddharth P Malhotra said in a statement that Ikka has challenged him ‘emotionally and creatively’. He shared, “It was one of the first stories I ever wanted to bring to the screen. What drew me to IKKA was the opportunity to tell a courtroom story that focuses as much on personal relationships and emotional dilemmas as it does on the pursuit of justice.” Malhotra added, “To finally tell this story with a cast of the calibre of Sunny Deol, Akshaye Khanna, Dia Mirza and Tillotama Shome feels truly special. Having Sunny Deol step into the role of a lawyer, a character space audiences have so loved him in, alongside such phenomenal performers, felt like everything coming together at the right time.”
