That new star's grandpa is seriously proud of him. Agastya Nanda, debuting in the war film Ikkis, talked about the movie's music helping him get into his soldier character, feeling overwhelmed by the positive reaction to tracks like Sitaare.
His co-star Simar Bhatia, playing his love interest, said the emotional songs felt purposeful and part of the characters themselves. The biggest praise came from his grandfather, megastar Amitabh Bachchan, who wrote a lengthy, emotional blog post calling Agastya's performance perfect in every shot. Bachchan recalled memories from Agastya's birth at Breach Candy Hospital to his deciding to act, saying he could not take his eyes off the screen.
