Ikka Cast Fees: Sunny Deol and Akshay Khanna are sharing the screen once more, this time in a courtroom rather than a battlefield, over thirty years after two of the most recognisable faces in Hindi film stood on opposing sides of a battlefield in Border. Here's a peek at the Netflix film's budget and cast, as Ikka is expected to be one of the most talked-about releases this month.
Ikka has a budget between Rs 60 crore and Rs 100 crore, with Netflix paying for expenses with OTT rights worth up to Rs 100 crore, according to reports.
Ikka Cast Fees
- Sunny Deol is the highest-paid actor, earning Rs 25 crore for his part, according to reports.
- Akshaye Khanna is still a strong on-screen presence after the success of Dhurandhar. The renowned actor reportedly demanded Rs 5 crore for the Netflix movie.
- Dia Mirza, who plays Sunny Deol's wife in the movie, reportedly demanded Rs 1 crore for the part.
- Tillotama Shome, allegedly demanded Rs 40 lakh for her part in Ikka.
- Sanjeeda Sheikh asked for Rs 50 lakh to play her part in the Netflix movie.

The reported pay gap in Ikka shows how salaries often differ based on an actor’s box office success and popularity. Sunny Deol reportedly received the highest fee because of his strong star power and recent hits, while the female leads and supporting cast were said to earn much less. These reported figures highlight how an actor’s market value often plays a big role in deciding their pay.

Ikka Plot Details
Sunny Deol portrays Arjun Mehra, a lawyer known for upholding his moral convictions. When he defends Shauryamann Gaur, played by Khanna, a man from Arjun's own past who is now charged in a high-profile attempted murder case, that reputation is put to the test. As the trial progresses and long-kept facts begin to surface, Arjun discovers that his professional responsibilities are strongly at odds with long-standing allegiances.
There's growing excitement for its Netflix release probably because of its poigant subplots involving a strong ensemble and a combination of a courtroom drama case and personal history.
