Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor, Agastya Nanda begin shooting for The Archies

Shah Rukh Khan's daughter Suhana Khan, Sridevi-Boney Kapoor's youngest Khushi Kapoor and megastar Amitabh Bachchan's grandson Agastya Nanda have kick-started shooting for 'Archie Comics' film adaptation. The trio will be marking their Bollywood debut with the upcoming Netflix musical, helmed by Zoya Akhtar. A few pics from the sets made their way to internet on Thursday.

As seen in the photos, Khushi's look resembles that of Betty from 'Archie Comics', while Suhana seems to be playing Veronica. Agastya's elder sister Navya Nanda was also spotted in the pictures from the set. However, she has earlier said that she does not want to work in Bollywood.

Set in the 1960s, the upcoming film will be a live-action musical set and introduce Riverdale to a new generation in India. Zoya Akhtar's company Tiger Baby Films will also co-produce the project with Graphic India.

Meanwhile, talking about this collaboration, director Zoya Akhtar said, "I am super excited to have the chance to bring The Archies 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. I have to make sure the film stokes the nostalgia of a generation that grew up on the comic and yet resonates with the young adults today."

"It's a huge source of pride that the Archie Comics characters and stories resonate with fans globally, and especially in India, for more than 50 years,” said Archie Comics CEO/Publisher Jon Goldwater. He added, "We are thrilled to partner with Netflix and trust Zoya Akhtar and her creative team to deliver a truly unique and exciting take on Archie and friends through the lens of Indian cinema.

The Archie Comics follows the lives of four friends — Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, and Jughead Jones — as they navigate adolescence.
