Mumbai: Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson Agastya Nanda is making headlines following the release of his war drama ‘Ikkis’, which also features Bollywood legend Dharmendra in his last screen appearance.
Agastya, who plays Second Lieutenant Arun Khetarpal in the biographical war drama directed by Sriram Raghavan, said he is proud to be a member of the Bachchan family but doesn’t own their legacy.
“I don’t take that pressure in the slightest because I know that’s not my legacy to own. I think my surname is Nanda because I’m my father’s son first. I focus on making him proud, and that’s a legacy I carry very heavily on me. My other family members who are actors. I admire their work, I love their work. But I don’t think I can ever be them. So, it’s not even worth spending time trying to think of it,” Agastya told IMDb.
Sharing his experience of working under unpredictable conditions during the shooting of ‘Ikkis’, the young actor said, “I think everything was chaotic and unexpected, to be honest. I can’t think of one schedule or moment we had which was expected or calm.”
Looking ahead to 2026, Agastya shared his excitement about seeing films from actors of his generation.
“I think there are some brilliant actors who’ve already come this year and will be coming next year. And I don’t know why I feel a sense of pride seeing someone from our generation perform so well. So, I’m looking forward to all their films,” he said.
Agastya made his acting debut with Zoya Akhtar’s ‘The Archies’.
His latest release ‘Ikkis’ has been receiving positive reviews and has crossed the Rs 20-crore mark at the box office on its fourth day.
