Last year, Netflix announced partnering with filmmaker Zoya Akhtar for a feature film adaptation of the comics. Set in the 1960s, it will be a live-action musical set and will introduce Riverdale to a new generation in India. Then, it was speculated that the project will star Suhana, Agastya and Boney Kapoor’s daughter Khushi Kapoor. Even Saif Ali Khan’s son Ibrahim Ali Khan’s name had cropped up.
“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,” Zoya Akhtar said in a statement.
Archie comics follow the lives of four friends — Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge and Jughead Jones, and their many teenage issues. While Archie, Betty and Veronica are caught in a love triangle, Jughead is known for his love for food.
