Speaking of Akshaye Khanna, his back-to-back amazing performances actually led him to see a massive jump in his earnings, and reportedly the actor received Rs. 5 crores for his performance in the movie. The highest-paid actor of Ikka is Sunny Deol, who allegedly earned Rs. 25 crores for his role in the movie. To mention, nothing is confirmed officially, and the exact amount of the actors' salaries hasn't been publicly disclosed. 

What is Ikka all about? A look at the plot 

Ikka has been loved by audiences for its strong plotline, which is all about a courtroom battle involving 'Arjun Mehra' played by Sunny Deol and 'Shauryaman Gaur', played by Akshaye Khanna. 'Arjun' is a lawyer who, throughout his life, has never defended any criminal and always stood by the innocent's side. Well, things started to change when he met 'Shauryaman', who had been accused of murdering a woman named 'Soma'. 

While 'Shaurya' wanted 'Arjun' to fight the case for him, the latter denied and didn't go against his ethics. However, the entire scene got twisted as 'Arjun' got to know that his daughter was not his; rather, 'Shaurya's biological daughter. 'Arjun' had no option but to fight for the criminal 'Shaurya', who offered to help in return, as his daughter needed a bone marrow transplant. The legal battle began as lawyer 'Madhura' tried everything to serve the victim justice, but couldn't win against 'Arjun'.

When 'Shaurya' was arrested and helped 'Arjun' and his daughter in return, it was revealed that the courtroom drama was actually a plan of 'Arjun' and that he was just gathering evidence against the criminal. The movie ended with the criminal's arrest, and the strong plot of the thriller has now been loved by the audience. Although the plotline is strong, the movie got mixed reviews, with critics arguing that the legal writing and courtroom logic were a bit weak and predictable.
