Cast opens up about the film
Sharing his thoughts on the project, Sunny Deol said: "Ikka is not just a courtroom drama. It is a story about family, relationships and the tough choices life makes you make. Arjun is a man who believes in doing the right thing but then circumstances make him question everything around him. It was his pain, his anger, his silence, his fight for what he believes in that drew me to this character. This film is also very special to me because it’s my first direct-to-streaming release. I’m happy that through Netflix, audiences across India and the globe will get to experience the world of Ikka.”
