Shah Rukh Khan's daughter Suhana, Sridevi's Khushi to debut in Bollywood Archie Comics adaptation: reports

The project is reportedly being directed by Zoya Akhtar for Netflix and is likely to air in 2022.
Updated 20 Aug, 2021

If you want to see tonnes of teen angst and drama in Hindi, look no further. Riverdale is getting the Bollywood treatment and, according to Bollywood Hungama, Zoya Akhtar will be directing the series for Netflix.

While the direction of the show is unclear, it will be based on the Archie Comics — the same comics Riverdale is based on. The series is expected to air in 2022 and some of the casting is already complete.

Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter Suhana and Boney Kapoor and Sridevi's younger daughter Khushi have been cast as Betty and Veronica, according to the publication. It also said that there is a "strong possibility" of Saif Ali Khan's son Ibrahim being cast as Archie.

The show will mark the Bollywood debut of all three celebrity kids. Khushi's older sister Jhanvi has already made her debut in the industry.

News of the Indian adaptation of the Archie Comics was first reported in 2018. However, it was initially reported that the project would be a film.

The production is a joint collaboration by Archie Comics and Graphic India and was touted as the first international comic to be translated for Indian screens.

Archie Comics have sold over two billion copies worldwide and are published in over 17 languages in over 55 countries.

Again I request other than political news, why do we need to see a country's entertainment news who is involved in terrorism and occupying Kashmir.

What else can they do to stay afloat, follow their parents path, look busy, get counted, rally support, thumb their impression and above all, remain in the powerful multimedia limelight?

Earth shattering news for Pakistanis. India obsession. In Bollywood, nepotism is at its zenith. It has become a monopoly, only actors’ children are allowed to act in main roles. But Pakistanis it seems cannot survive without “Bollywood”

Bollywood is as Democratic as India. Anyone can become anybody he or she aspires to be as long as you have the right set of parents or connections. Shameful.

The next generations will now rule over Bollywood. Gone are the magical days when rustic lads could come from the hinterland to rise to fame & fortune (e.g. Dharmendra, Manoj Kumar), or a pure-hearted lad (e.g. Dilip Kumar) or a well-read intellectually minded young man (e.g. Kader Khan) both from humble backgrounds in distant northern cities.
