Zoya Akhtar's 'The Archies' Cast Trailer Reveals Bollywood Freshers

Suhana Khan, the daughter of Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, is all set to make her debut. Here's how we unveil the first look of Suhana as Veronica Lodge, and Agastya as Archie Andrews. The new show is an adaptation of Archie Comics’ “Riverdale” and is produced by Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros. Television.

“It’s a little surreal actually. We have been working on this for such a long time and come to this point,” Akhtar said. “It’s great because I think it’s a film that would be loved by people of all ages. Music is universal and Archie has always been about music.  All '90s kids can get ready to take a nostalgic ride with the return of Archie Andrews. Well, not exactly, but with a different twist. Netflix released the first look at its upcoming film, based on the Archie Comics characters and reportedly directed by Zoya Akhtar, on Saturday. The cast includes newcomers Agastya Nanda (grandson of Amitabh Bachchan), Suhana Khan (daughter of Shah Rukh Khan), and Khushi Kapoor (daughter of Sridevi).
