And then we have a visionary producer like Dinesh Vijan, the kind of films he’s backed and how he’s stood behind them with complete faith is just amazing. Both of them along with Poonam Vijan (Maddock Films) make a terrific team … The cool thing about being an actor is getting a chance to do things you normally would’nt get to do. You see and learn so many things that you wouldn’t otherwise experience. That’s exactly what’s happening on Ikkis … the background of the armed forces, the war and especially the heroes we are playing is not just an honour but a privilege. I’m lucky to be a part of this film, and I hope I do well..”.
