Simar will make her film debut with the war drama film 'Ikkis', directed by renowned filmmaker Sriram Raghavan.

Uncle Akshay Kumar has shared an emotional post on social media about his niece's significant step. He shared the trailer of the film 'Ikkis' on Instagram, along with a message for his niece. He wrote, "My little Simi is not so little anymore… From your living room performances to the big screen in #Ikkis, my heart is bursting with pride, Simar Bhatia."

I thought that was the greatest joy. But today, I know that the joy of seeing your child's photo here is the greatest joy. I wish my mother were here today to say 'Simar puttar tu teh kamaal hai'. Bless you my baby, the sky is yours."

Story of the film 'Ikkis'
