Agastya Nanda, grandson of actors Amitabh and Jaya Bachchan, is all set to make his big-screen debut with Sriram Raghavan`s Ikkis. The young actor first appeared in front of the camera with Zoya Akhtar`s Netflix film The Archies in 2023. In December this year, he will be seen in Ikkis. A day after the trailer launch of the film, proud grandmother Jaya spoke about Agastya’s performance and praised him. She also said that her grandson is like her — someone who would not follow the herd.

Jaya Bachchan says Agastya is special

Agastya is the younger child of Shweta Bachchan and Nikhil Nanda. Talking to Bollywood Hungama, Jaya said, “Luckily, Agastya is a fast learner. Neither of his parents are actors, so he’s leaning on his grandparents and his Maamu (uncle) for guidance. You know me, I wouldn’t praise anyone, least of all my own children or grandchildren. But Agastya is special. That child is determined to forge his own path. Just like I once did. Like me, he won’t follow the herd.”
