Archie Comics to be adapted into a film by Zoya Akhtar

Filmmaker Zoya Akhtar began shooting for her upcoming live-action musical film 'The Archies' on April 18, 2022. As the title suggests, 'The Archies' is based on Archie Comics, which will be set in 1960s India.

'The Archies' reportedly features Shah Rukh Khan's daughter Suhana Khan, Sridevi's younger daughter Khushi Kapoor, and Shweta Bachchan Nanda's son, Agastya Nanda, all making their screen debut. Though the cast has not officially been announced, reports claim that Suhana will be seen playing Veronica Lodge, while Khushi and Agastya will feature as Betty Cooper and Archie Andrews, respectively.

'The Archies' film is produced by Akhtar and Reema Kagti under their production house Tiger Baby.

Sharing the news of the production of the movie starting, Kagti posted a picture of a clapboard on Instagram with the caption: "Archie's shoot starts, Tiger Baby's first solo production".
