Bollywood superstar Sunny Deol, who commenced 2026 with a power-packed performance in Border 2, stepped back into a lawyer's robe for Ikka after 33 years since Damini. In this gritty courtroom drama, he plays Advocate Arjun Mehra, a brilliant, morally upright defence attorney forced to represent Akshaye Khanna, who essays the role of Shauryaman Gaur, a disbarred lawyer with political backing. 

The story begins with Soma Mittal (Akansha Ranjan Kapoor), who leaves a club with Akshaye after a couple of drinks. She is later found dumped on the streets, bloodied and severely wounded. As the prime suspect, Akshaye is arrested, prompting his father, a powerful politician, to recruit Sunny to defend him.
