Take a look here:

The Archies is set in desi Riverdale in which Suhana plays the role of Veronica Lodge, a teenager who has just moved back from the UK and is ready to dive into the 2.0 version of her teenage life. She is best friends with Betty Cooper, played by Khushi, and Archie Andrews, essayed by Agastya. While everything in their lives seem to be going well, Veronica’s father decides to bring in malls and development to Riverdale.

Zoya said when streamer Netflix made her “an offer” to adapt and set the popular comics in India, the “Gully Boy” director said she couldn’t refuse. “I didn’t know what I wanted to do next, they got ‘Archies’ to me, which is one of our favourite comics, I grew up on this. I was like, ‘How can I take this, retain its essence and make it from India?’ “Since it’s a global IP, I need to be able to take something from here and do it in a language that retains its original essence and speaks to kids today. We were excited about that. We have done whatever we wanted to and now we are getting scared, as always,” she added.

The Archies has already released two songs — Va Va Vroom and Sunoh. Both the songs have been penned by Javed Akhtar. While Sunoh has been composed by Ankur Tiwari, Va Va Vroom is composed by Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy.

On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan will be next seen in Dunki with Taapsee Pannu and Vicky Kaushal. The film is releasing on December 22 and makers have released Drop 1 teaser recently.
