The glittering city of Mumbai witnessed an glamorous spectacle as Bollywood’s crème de la crème graced the premiere of The Archies, a much-anticipated Hindi adaptation of the iconic American comic book series.
The Nita Mukesh Ambani Culture Centre (NMACC) radiated with glamour, drawing the Bachchan and Khan families, along with other Bollywood royalty to support their emerging stars.
Amitabh Bachchan, Jaya Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai, Abhishek Bachchan, and their enchanting daughter Aaradhya made a resplendent entrance, donning matching black outfits, presenting a united front in celebration of Agastya Nanda’s significant milestone.
The Bachchan-Nanda family, inclusive of Shweta Bachchan and Nikhil Nanda, posed elegantly for the paparazzi, elevating the grandeur of the star-studded evening.
Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan, Aryan Khan, AbRam Khan, and the delightful Savita Chhibber infused the event with their charismatic presence. Shah Rukh, sporting an Archies-themed t-shirt, led the Khan family, while Suhana Khan, adorned in a breathtaking red sequined gown, stole the spotlight alongside Agastya Nanda and Khushi Kapoor.
The premiere boasted a constellation of Bollywood’s brightest stars, 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.
A heartwarming gesture by Jackie Shroff, gifting a plant to Suhana Khan, added a touch of warmth to the star-studded affair. Hrithik Roshan and Saba Azad’s camaraderie, Janhvi Kapoor’s shimmering presence, and the attendance of Ibrahim Ali Khan and Aditya Roy Kapur further enriched the glamour quotient of the unforgettable evening.
The Archies, produced by Tiger Baby Productions and directed by the brilliant Zoya Akhtar, promises a nostalgic journey into 1960s India. The film intricately explores the adventures of Archie and the gang as they navigate romance, friendship, and the future of Riverdale, all amid the looming threat of developers intent on dismantling a beloved park.
Agastya Nanda, Khushi Kapoor, and Suhana Khan take center stage, brilliantly portraying iconic characters from the timeless Archie Comics. With a release date set for December 7, “The Archies” is poised to captivate audiences, offering a unique and enchanting adaptation of the beloved comic book series.
