In a highly anticipated development, Agastya Nanda is set to take the lead in Sriram Raghavan’s upcoming film, Ekkis, slated to commence filming in January 2024. Produced by Dinesh Vijan, the movie unfolds the compelling biopic of revered 1971 War Hero Arun Khetarpal, with the legendary Dharmendra portraying a crucial role.
Renowned for crafting cinematic masterpieces like Ek Haseena Thi, Johnny Gaddar, Badlapur, and AndhaDhun, Sriram Raghavan is embarking on his most ambitious project yet.
“December and the first half of January will be spent by Agastya in reading the script and also doing some workshops to rehearse for the schedule ahead. Sriram wanted a young actor to play the part of Arun Khetarpal and feels that Agastya fits the role like a hand in a glove. After months of prep, Sriram and Agastya are now all set to commence the journey of bringing the heroic tale to the big screen,” the source revealed.
The film not only explores the historical context of the 1971 War but also delves into the poignant father-son bond within the narrative. This collaboration marks Sriram Raghavan’s second venture with producer Dinesh Vijan, following their partnership on Badlapur in 2015.
