Actor Suhasini Mulay, who has a supporting role in Ikkis, has now defended it.Suhasini Mulay defends IkkisIn conversation with journalists at Gauhati Press Club on Sunday, the veteran actor praised Ikkis, saying it did not show Pakistanis as "ghosts and demons" and projected them as "humans". She then added, “However, I was told by the script writer that they were being trolled by the people. If you are in this society in this era, then you will be trolled. So, you don't make such films. You make The Kashmir Files, you will get your entertainment tax waived.” The Kashmir Files, a 2024 film by Vivek Agnihotri, was a box office success, earning praise from the central government ministers too. However, a certain section of critics slammed it for being Islamophobic.Suhasini Mulay also expressed her disappointment over commercial cinema becoming more political. “The political cinema now is ideologically right-wing, and religious dominance is the norm. There has been an incredible projection of violence, which we never saw earlier. And it is both mental and physical. There is also the huge question of 'otherisation' of indigenous people and minorities, not just Muslims, but all minorities,” she added.About IkkisIkkis is the story of Second Lt Arun Khetarpal, the youngest recipient of Param Vir Chakra, India’s highest gallantry award. The film was praised by critics for its sensitive tone, performances, and the humane depiction of war. However, it was not a commercial success, earning just ₹37 crore worldwide.
