Zoya Akhtar To Launch Khushi Kapoor, Suhana Khan

In what  could most  likely be the  OTT  blockbuster  of  2022, Zoya Akhtar is all set to  do make  a desi series based on  the globally  celebrated Archies comics for Netflix.

While Zoya Akhtar  is still to find her desi Archie,  she has already found her Betty and Veronica. In a  sensational  scoop  this writer has been informed by a source  very close  to the project that Shah Rukh Khan’s daughter Suhana Khan and  Boney-Sridevi Kapoor’s younger daughter Khushi Kapoor are being cast as the  desi Betty and Veronica,respectively,  in Zoya Akhtar’s  indigenous  adaptation  of Archies.

Yes, it is the casting coup of  the year. For  a long time now  there has been constant speculation on when these two star-daughters  will be launched in Bollywood, and by whom.

Now you know.

Apparently Karan  Johar  was very keen to launch both  Suhana(whom he treats like his own daughter) and  Khushi(whose elder sister Janhvi ,Karan had launched in Dhadak). Now Zoya Akhtar  has beaten Karan to the honours.

While other details  of the  Netflix series are yet to be locked in, I can only confirm  Suhana and Khushi in the Zoya-helmed project.  I can also reveal that there is a strong possibility  of Saif Ali Khan and Amrita Singh’s son Ebrahim playing Archie in Zoya Akhtar’s series.
