The Archies, announced late last year from Netflix India, has officially started production. The film, inspired by the band Archie Andrews heads up in the Archie Comics, is unrelated to the planned Archie in Bollywood, which was announced in 2018 and would have seen a version of the American Riverdale gang head to India. Instead, this version is set in 1960s India, although at present, IMDb has no cast list, and the filmmakers have made no official comment, but rumors have been circulating that Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor and Agastya Nanda will play Betty, Veronica, and Archie. Archie Comics continue to be hugely popular in Indian popular culture, having inspired a number of cinematic imitators over the years.
