Suhana, Khushi, Agastya make a chic debut in Zoya Akhtar’s ‘Netflix’ film

All the 90s kids can get ready to go on a nostalgia ride as Archie Andrews and his friends are coming back, but with a twist. ‘The Archies’ universe is getting an Indian adaptation which is helmed by Zoya Akhtar. The film features an ensemble cast including debutants Agastya Nanda (Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson), Suhana Khan (Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter) and Khushi Kapoor (Sridevi’s daughter). The first look of the film was released by ‘Netflix’ on May 14.

Sharing the teaser on ‘Twitter’, ‘Netflix’ wrote, “The sun is out, the news is out! Come and meet your new friends. Presenting to you the cast of ‘The Archies’, directed by the fantastic Zoya Akhtar.”

The Archies is set to be a musical set in the 60s.

All three youngsters look like their comics counterparts, but with noticeable tweaks. Suhana sports long black hair, like Veronica, while Khushi sports bangs. Agastya did not have Archie’s famous red hair, but he did appear to have had his locks curled in the character’s style with a slight red tinge.

The official logline of the film reads, “A musical experience bursting with youth, rebellion, friendships, first loves and everything young adult, still promises to have something for every generation. We cannot wait to see the new kids on the block!”

The announcement video has a music track by Ankur Tiwari playing in the background.

‘The Archies’ began production in April and producer Reema Kagti shared a slate from the first day of the shoot, writing on ‘Instagram’, “Archie’s shoot starts, Tiger Baby’s first solo production.”
