The Archie characters are about to get a desi spin with Netflix's upcoming release 'The Archies.,
"The Archies" represents Netflix's latest venture into the Archie comics universe, led by acclaimed Indian filmmaker Zoya Akhtar.
The project is produced by Zoya Akhtar's Tiger Baby and Graphic India, led by Reema Kagti and Sharad Devarajan.
The film's setting in the 1960s not only offers a unique historical backdrop but also sets it apart from contemporary adaptations.
Unlike the well-known adaptations like "Riverdale" and "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina," this film takes the characters in a new direction.
According to sources, the iconic Archie characters have been reinterpreted for this fresh new remake.
Suhana Khan (Shah Rukh Khan's daughter), as Veronica; Agastya Nanda (Amitabh Bachchan's grandson) as Archie; Khushi Kapoor (Sridevi's daughter) as Betty.
The film's success will determine if these star kids can establish thriving careers in an industry often criticized for favoring established connections over new talent.
