In Ikka, directed by Siddharth P Malhotra, Sunny Deol returns to the role of a lawyer. He described the Netflix film as "a narrative centered around family, relationships, and the tough decisions life compels us to make."

Ikka is set to premiere on Netflix on July 10 and will be Sunny Deol's second release of 2026, following Border 2. After Ikka, he will portray Lord Hanuman in the highly anticipated mythological epic Ramayana, featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash, which is scheduled for a Diwali release.
