Sunny Deol & Akshaye Khanna Reunite After 29 Years in Courtroom Thriller Ikka.

After nearly three decades since their last joint appearance in Border (1997), Sunny Deol and Akshaye Khanna are back together in Netflix's new legal drama Ikka. The streaming giant unveiled a first-look teaser on February 3, 2026, showing Deol stepping into the role of a celebrated, incorruptible lawyer named Sikandar Mehra, while Khanna plays the murder accused whose career the lawyer once destroyed. The film promises a high-stakes showdown in the courtroom, blending moral dilemmas with intense drama.

Ikka is directed by Siddharth P. Malhotra, known for Maharaj and written by Althea Kaushal and Mayank Tewari. The official synopsis reveals that Deol's character is forced to defend Khanna's character, a man he previously ruined, pushing him to use every trick in the book-ethical or not-to win the case, or risk losing everything he holds dear. The teaser hints at a gritty, emotional battle, with fans already buzzing about the intense face-off and potential courtroom monologues reminiscent of Deol's iconic Damini performance.

The supporting cast includes Dia Mirza, Tillotama Shome, Sanjeeda Shaikh, Shishir Sharma, and Akansha Ranjan, adding depth to the narrative. The film is produced by Alchemy Films, with Siddharth and Sapna Malhotra at the helm. While a specific release date has not been announced, Netflix has confirmed Ikka will premiere sometime in 2026, and anticipation is high across social media platforms, with fans calling it a "Tara Singh & Rehman Dakait crossover" and praising the pairing's return to the screen.

Ikka marks a significant milestone for both actors, with Deol making his major OTT debut and Khanna continuing his recent string of acclaimed performances. The film is expected to blend legal intrigue with emotional depth, offering a fresh take on the courtroom drama genre.
