Bollywood Hungama OTT India Fest Day 2 EXCLUSIVE: Khushi Kapoor recalls ‘bawling’ after she got a call for The Archies: “It was truly such a special moment”

Netflix's The Archies released its first song 'Sunoh,' featuring Dot (Aditi), Agastya Nanda, Khushi Kapoor, Mihir Ahuja, Suhana Khan, Vedang Raina and Yuvraj Menda, at Bollywood Hungama OTT India Fest Day 2 on October 19, 2023. At the exclusive launch, Khushi Kapoor recalled what it was like getting a call for her debut movie.

Speaking on stage, Khushi Kapoor said that it was a dream come true for her to be cast in The Archies.  Recalling being cast in the Zoya Akhtar directorial, she said, “When I got the call from Zoya saying that I’ve been chosen for the film, I was with a friend. And as soon as I cut the call, she gave me a tight hug, and I started bawling, crying because it was truly such a special moment.”

Talking about sharing a great bond with her co-stars, she added, “We have all been there for each other from the beginning, and we all have individual relationships. It felt like one big school trip, where we were going to each other’s rooms, making Maggi and popcorn. I felt really lucky to have true friends through the process.”

Khushi Kapoor recalled taking several lessons for swimming, skating, cycling and acting for The Archies. She said, “We have a lot of our character’s personalities in ourselves. It was great to work with Zoya and find those different layers of the characters. We did train a lot. We had swimming, cycling, skating, and acting workshops so we could get comfortable with our characters and ourselves. By the time we got to the shoot, we were extremely well prepared.”

This live-action musical transports viewers on an enchanting journey back to the captivating era of the 1960s, set in the fictional hill town of Riverdale. The film is produced by Netflix India, Tiger Baby, Archie Comics and Graphic India.

The Archies will be released worldwide on Netflix only on December 7, 2023.
