Mumbai, Dec 3 (LatestNewsX) – The much‑anticipated war‑drama Ikkis has begun its musical push with the release of the track “Sitaare,” performed by the celebrated Arijit Singh. The ballad, steeped in emotion, is expected to resonate deeply with viewers. Speaking about the song, Agastya Nanda, whose character is featured in the track, described “Sitaare” as “the emotional heartbeat of our story,” adding that it feels like a brief oasis of calm and affection before Arun’s life spirals into dramatic upheaval. He further notes that watching the visuals alongside Arijit Sir’s voice creates a surreal experience that gives him goosebumps, hoping listeners will sense the softness and sincerity embedded in every frame.
Simar Bhatia, who plays the female lead, echoed these sentiments, saying the song “is soft, intimate, and full of delicate emotions,” and that it beautifully sets the tone for Arun’s journey. She expressed a wish that the audience connects with the honesty and quiet magic captured during filming.
The track offers an early, tender glimpse into the growing romance between Agastya Nanda and Simar Bhatia, whose on‑screen chemistry injects warmth into the film’s intense narrative. Directed by the acclaimed Sriram Raghavan and produced by Dinesh Vijan under Maddock Films, “Ikkis” promises to portray the extraordinary true story of Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal, India’s youngest Param Vir Chakra recipient, whose unmatched bravery during the 1971 Indo‑Pak war has become a national symbol of pride.

According to the makers, “Sitaare” opens a gentle, luminous window into young love against a backdrop of courage, sacrifice, and patriotism. The composition and production are handled by White Noise Collectives, while Amitabh Bhattacharya’s lyrical craftsmanship lends a delicate, poetic touch. The song encapsulates the tender relationship between the protagonists, set against a dreamy visual palette, providing audiences a chance to feel and connect with Arun Khetarpal’s humanity and inner world before destiny demands his courage. –LatestNewsX
