Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson, Agastya Nanda, is all set to make his theatrical debut with Ikkis. The movie has been directed by ace National Award-winning filmmaker, Sriram Raghavan. Agastya, aged 24, will play the role of Second Lieutenant Officer, Arun Khetarpal, who was the youngest recipient of the Param Vir Chakra. Arun was martyred at the mere age of 21 and received the honour posthumously for bravery in the Battle of Basantar, which took place during the 1971 Indo-Pak war.
