MUMBAI: (Dec 4) Actor Agastya Nanda, who has stepped in the shoes of youngest Param Vir Chakra recipient Arun Khetrpal in “Ikkis”, hopes the movie will resonate with younger audiences.

Directed by Sriram Raghavan, the film narrates the story of Khetarpal, a second Lieutenant, who was martyred at the age of 21 during the Battle of Basantar in the 1971 Indo-Pak war.

“Cantonments have started feeling like home, we’ve been training for three years (for this film). Being here is like a family. For me, the main thing that stood out was how young Arun Khetarpal is, and I would like to address the young kids sitting here. I hope you learn something from the life of Arun Khetarpal,” Nanda said at an event of “Ikkis” here held at South Mumbai’s Navy Nagar, a cantonment area.
