Dharmendra’s last movie, Ikkis, has been postponed. On Wednesday, trade analyst Taran Adarsh took to his X handle and shared that the film, which was scheduled to hit theatres on December 25, will now
be released a week later. This means that fans will now be able to watch Ikkis on January 1, 2025.
“#DineshVijan has done it for the third time… #Ikkis, originally slated for release on 25 Dec 2025, will now arrive a week later, on 1 Jan 2026,” Adarsh wrote.
This means that Ikkis will now not clash with Tu Meri Main Tera Main Tera Tu Meri. Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday’s romantic drama is scheduled to hit theatres on December 25.
It should also be noted that Ikkis has been postponed at a time with Ranveer Singh’s recently released movie Dhurandhar continues to wreak havoc at the box office. Released on December 5, the film has earned more than Rs 630 crores as of now.

“The decision to shift the release of #Ikkis ahead makes perfect business sense… Besides being a solo release on 1 Jan 2026, #Ikkis is assured of its share of shows at prime properties,” Taran Adarsh added.
About Ikkis
Helmed by the National Award-winning filmmaker Sriram Raghavan, Ikkis shares the inspiring story of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal – India’s youngest recipient of the Param Vir Chakra. Khetarpal took on the enemy head-on during the Battle of Basantar, destroying 10 Pakistani tanks before losing his life.
Sharing the trailer of Ikkis on social media, makers Maddock Films said, “Woh Ikkis Ka Tha, Ikkis Ka Hi Rahega! Dinesh Vijan and Maddock Films present #Ikkis, an untold true story of India’s youngest Param Vir Chakra awardee – Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal directed by Sriram Raghavan. Share your #QissaAtIkkis because every legendary story starts young. In cinemas December 2025! (sic).”
Accompanying Agastya Nanda, the project will also see Simar Bhatia, Dharmendra, Jaideep Ahlawat, Sikandar Kher, and Deepak Dobriyal in significant roles, along with others.
