Filmmaker Sriram Raghavan’s upcoming film Ikkis features Agastya Nanda in the lead, alongside veteran actor Dharmendra. When asked about the criticism Agastya faced for his debut in The Archies, Raghavan said, “I had spoken to Agastya about this film long before he began work on The Archies. I needed someone who came across as vulnerable and sincere, and Agastya fit the role perfectly. He underwent rigorous army training, and he was fully committed.”
