It's Official! Varun Dhawan's next with director Sriram Raghavan is titled Ekkis

After Badlapur, Varun Dhawan collaborated for the second time with director Sriram Raghavan for a biographical war drama, which is based on the youngest Param Vir Chakra recipient, Arun Khetarpal. While the announcement of this project had happened earlier, the makers have now revealed the title of the film, which is Ekkis.

Producer Dinesh revealed some interesting details about the film and the prep of it as he told Filmfare, "Sriram has a separate office because he needed a much bigger space. If you go to his office, you will feel you're entering a war zone. I have never seen a director prep so much." He added, "Varun called me this morning and said that I have never been more excited and sure about a film than this. It's nice to feel that way. Varun is the right guy for the film."

The filmmaker also revealed that he came to know about Arun Khetarpal's story when he went to Meerut during the shoot of Luka Chuppi. "A friend of mine told me the story then. We got the rights. We narrated it to Sriram. It's the first time that Sriram is going to take an outside subject. It's a father-son story and Sriram got very emotional. He loved it," said Dinesh Vijan.

Talking about this war drama, Varun had earlier said, "When I heard Arun Khetarpal's story I was awed that this could have actually happened! I understood then why Dinoo (Dinesh Vijan) and Sriram are so passionate about it. When I met Arun's brother Mukesh, I was moved. I too have a brother and I can't understand what he must have gone through." Well, we hope Varun and Sriram once again weave magic with Ekkis on the silver screen.
