# Bollywood Buzz: Ikkis Postponed for the Third Time – Dharmendra's Swan Song Dodges Christmas Clash! **Imagine ringing in the New Year with a cinematic salute to India's youngest Param Vir Chakra hero.** Agastya Nanda and Dharmendra's much-awaited *Ikkis* has been pushed from its December 25, 2025 slot to **January 1, 2026**, marking the third postponement for this gripping true story of Second Lt. Arun Khetarpal.[1][3][4] Directed by the masterful Sriram Raghavan and presented by Dinesh Vijan and Maddock Films, *Ikkis* isn't just a film—it's a tribute to raw courage, with Dharmendra in what sources call his **final on-screen appearance**.[1][2][3] This strategic shift comes amid the massive frenzy surrounding Ranveer Singh's *Dhurandhar*, whose success has dominated screens, prompting the makers to avoid a risky Christmas clash with Kartik Aaryan and Ananya Panday's upcoming release.[1][2][3] This isn't producer Dinesh Vijan's first savvy move. Back in 2017, *Hindi Medium* dodged *Baahubali 2* for a blockbuster run, and in 2024, *Chhaava* sidestepped *Pushpa 2* to claim a prime 2025 window.[1] Fans, get ready—the final trailer drops on **December 19, 2025**, building even more hype for this Agastya Nanda debut that's already generating waves.[1]
