The first look of Zoya Akhtar's Bollywood adaptation of The Archies comics is out. The makers shared the first poster of the film's cast - Suhana Khan as Veronica, Khushi Kapoor as Betty and Agastya Nanda as Archie - on Instagram. They wrote, "Grab your picnic baskets and pick out your cutest outfits, we're going to greet the Archie's gang. Presenting the cast of THE ARCHIES, a Zoya Akhtar film".

A teaser was also shared, introducing us to other characters from the film. The makers wrote: "The sun is out, the news is out! Come meet your new friends. Presenting to you the cast of The Archies, directed by the fantastic Zoya Akhtar." The film will premiere on Netflix.

Zoya had previously spoken about her new project. She said in a statement, "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."
