Ikka: Sunny Deol, Akshaye Khanna make OTT debut with high-octane legal thriller film | First look out

Ikka is an upcoming high-octane legal thriller starring Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna, set for a 2026 release on Netflix. Directed by Siddharth P. Malhotra, the film marks a reunion for the duo 28 years after Border and serves as Deol's major OTT debut. On February 3, 2026, Netflix India announced Ikka and unveiled the first look video.

What is Ikka about?

Ikka sets a high-stakes, dramatic tone, focusing on a legal battle and an intense personal confrontation. Sunny Deol portrays a powerful and intense lawyer, while Akshaye Khanna appears to be the antagonist or a key individual involved in the legal case, seen in a more vulnerable or defensive position.

The video also shows Dia Mirza in emotional scenes, particularly at a hospital with a young child, suggesting she plays a central role in the film's emotional stakes. The first look video utilizes several common tropes of a legal thriller. 

​The courtroom is the place where most of the action takes place, with scenes of legal arguments. A brief scene shows a child being rushed into surgery, which likely catalyses the legal drama. The video explicitly promises an ultimate face-off between the characters played by Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna.

​The use of a ticking sound effect and the phrase "Tick. Tick. Boom!" by Akshaye emphasises a race against time or a situation about to explode. It is directed by Siddharth P. Malhotra and stars Sunny Deol, Akshaye Khanna, Dia Mirza, Tillotama Shome, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Shishir Sharma, Akansha Ranjan.

Speaking more about the plot as shown in the first look video, it follows a legendary lawyer, known for his unshakable integrity, who is forced to defend a killer whose career he once destroyed. To save himself and everything he holds dear, he must bend the law in ways he never imagined.
