Directed by the acclaimed Sriram Raghavan, who’s known for thrillers like Andhadhun and Badlapur, Ikkis is based on the inspiring real-life story of Arun Khetarpal, India’s youngest Param Vir Chakra awardee. It’s a film that promises to be an emotional rollercoaster, and Simar’s debut couldn’t be at a better time.
In Ikkis, Simar will be sharing the screen with some huge names like Agastya Nanda (grandson of Amitabh Bachchan) and the legendary Dharmendra. With her debut in such a high-profile project, Simar’s journey into Bollywood is definitely one to watch!

Born to Alka Bhatia, Akshay Kumar’s sister, Simar grew up with a strong connection to the film industry. Her mom, Alka, is a film producer who was married to Vaibhav Kapoor (from whom she later divorced) before tying the knot with real estate mogul Surendra Hiranandani in 2012. Growing up in a family with such diverse influences, Simar was exposed to both the glamour of Bollywood and the world of business early on.
