What Amitabh Bachchan said about Agastya, Ikkis

Agastya's big screen debut garnered praises from his grandfather-actor Amitabh Bachchan. Recently, taking to X (formerly Twitter), he posted the collection shared by the film's team. He wrote in the caption expressing his excitement, "YO .. Agastya .. way to go .."

The veteran actor, who recently attended a screening of the war biopic, took to his blog and penned a heartfelt note. Revisiting some rare memories from the time when Agastya was born to watching him on the big screen, Amitabh wrote, "Emotions flow.. As do they tonight when you witness the grandson excel in IKKIS .. the time when his Mother, Shweta is being rushed to Breach Candy Hospital as she encounters final labour pains .. his birth .. holding him barely a few hours later, and discussing whether his eyes were blue .. to the time when he grew a bit and holding him in my arms, and he fiddles with my beard .. to his growth .. to the final personal decision of his to be an actor, and tonight to see him in frame, unable to take my eyes off each time he fills the frames of the film."

Hailing Agastya's performance in the film, he said how he showcased an "unfiltered honesty" while portraying Arun. "When he is in the frame you only watch him .. and this is not a grandfather speaking, this is a hardened viewer of cinema.. And the film flawless in its presentation.. its writing.. its Direction..And when it ends .. the eyes filled with tears of joy and pride.. unable to speak out.. In silence. The silence that belongs to me.. my understanding.. no other," he had said.
