Mumbai witnessed a star-studded affair as Bollywood's elite graced the premiere of The Archies, the much-anticipated Hindi adaptation of the iconic American comic book series. The Nita Mukesh Ambani Culture Centre (NMACC) was ablaze with glamour as the Bachchan and Khan families, along with other industry luminaries, gathered to support their respective rising stars, as reported by Hindustan Times and India Today.
Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan, and their daughter Aaradhya, were seen arriving in matching black outfits for the premiere, except for Jaya Bachchan, who opted for an elegant white ensemble. Agastya's sister, Navya Naveli Nanda, added a pop of colour in a striking red gown. The entire Bachchan-Nanda family, including Shweta Bachchan and Nikhil Nanda, united to pose for the paparazzi, showcasing their strong support for Agastya's milestone.
Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan, Aryan Khan, AbRam Khan, and Savita Chhibber also graced the event, with Shah Rukh donning an Archies-themed t-shirt. Suhana Khan, making her presence felt in a stunning red sequined gown, led the Khan family to cheer for her debut alongside Agastya Nanda and Khushi Kapoor.
The star-studded affair saw an array of Bollywood celebrities, including Karisma Kapoor, Karan Johar, Amrita Arora, Malaika Arora, Shanaya Kapoor, Bobby Deol, Janhvi Kapoor, Katrina Kaif, Isabelle Kaif, Ranveer Singh, Atlee, Ranbir Kapoor, Neetu Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan, Saba Azad, Ibrahim Ali Khan, Shilpa Shetty, Ananya Panday, Kajol, Ayan Mukerji, Sonali Bendre, and the legendary Rekha.
Jackie Shroff's heartwarming gesture stood out as he was seen gifting a plant to Suhana Khan. Hrithik Roshan and Saba Azad's adorable camaraderie added to the charm of the evening, while Janhvi Kapoor shimmered in a dazzling dress. Ibrahim Ali Khan and Aditya Roy Kapur were also spotted among the glamorous attendees.
In a poignant and touching tribute to her late mother, legendary actor Sridevi, Khushi Kapoor, the daughter of Boney Kapoor and Sridevi, made her debut at the premiere night of her film The Archies in a gown that held sentimental value. The young Kapoor donned a shimmering golden gown that once graced the graceful figure of her mother at the IIFA award night in 2013.
The fashion-forward gesture was met with admiration and praise, especially from fashion influencer Diet Sabya, who took to Instagram to share details about Khushi's special choice. The influencer lauded Khushi for not only honouring her mother's memory but also for adding her own unique touch to the ensemble.
The Archies, produced by Tiger Baby Productions and helmed by Zoya Akhtar, promises a nostalgic journey set in 1960s India. The film explores the adventures of Archie and the gang as they navigate romance, friendship, and the future of Riverdale amid the threat of developers destroying a beloved park.
Agastya Nanda, Khushi Kapoor, and Suhana Khan lead the cast, portraying iconic characters such as Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, and Veronica Lodge, respectively. The film also stars Vedang Raina, Mihir Ahuja, Dot, and Yuvraj Menda in key roles. Set to release on December 7, The Archies is expected to captivate audiences with its unique take on the beloved comic book series.
