These Pics Of Suhana, Khushi & Agastya Shooting For ‘The Archies’ Have Us Convinced It’s Gonna Be Epic

Don’t know about you, but we’re really looking forward to Zoya Akhtar’s Indian Adaptation of Archie comics. In fact, it was just yesterday when we were hoping the makers would give us an official update regarding the cast and the release date. And guess what? We finally have something exciting to share! No, Zoya or her team haven’t officially made any announcements yet, but we got our hands on inside pictures from the film’s set. 

For months now, the grapevine has been buzzing that Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor and Agastya Nanda would be making their debut in the dream project. And, it looks like the rumours have been true all along. Yesterday, the paps got lucky and spotted the trio shooting for the movie. Suhana was seen sporting a strappy black dress, and Khushi wore a shirt, a short skirt with a sweater vest and styled her hair in fringes. Suhana was dressed as Veronica Lodge, Agastya as Archie Andrews and Khushi as Betty Copper. Agastya’s mom, Shweta Nanda and sis, Navya Nanda were spotted on the sets as well. Previously, Ibrahim Ali Khan was linked to the project, but it’s unclear if he is part of the upcoming project or not. Have a look at the pics here:

It was in November last year when Zoya announced her movie The Archies and shared, “I am super excited to have the chance to bring Archie to life. It was a large part of my childhood and teenage years. The characters are iconic and globally loved, which is also why I am a little nervous.” She even added that she wants to ensure that the film stokes the nostalgia of a generation that grew up on the comic and yet resonated with young adults today. We also hear that, unlike the American teen drama Riverdale, the new adaptation will get a desi twist. Sounded interesting AF, no?

A little birdie tells that Zoya has been working closely with the star cast of the movie for the past few months to get them ready for the film. TBH, looking at these pics is making us watch the movie ASAP. Here’s hoping the production house gives us a release date soon!
