An Indian musical adaptation of the popular Archie Comics, The Archies cast was officially announced on Saturday, after weeks of speculation. Joining Suhana, Khushi, Agastya and Dot. are Mihir Ahuja, Vedang Raina and Yuvraj Menda.
Congratulating Suhana on her long-awaited acting debut, Shah Rukh wrote in a heartfelt social media message, “And remember Suhana, you are never going to be perfect. But being yourself is the closest to that. Be kind and giving as an actor. The brickbats and applause is not yours to keep. The part of you that gets left behind on screen will always belong to you. You have come a long way baby. But the road to people’s heart is unending. Stride forth and make as many smile as you can. Now let there be light… camera and action!”
The Archies will be released on Netflix in 2023. The cast announcement video teased the quirky 60s vibe of the film, and featured a track by Ankur Tewari.
