The Archies is an official modification of the comic book series of the same name which follows the lives of four friends — Archie Andrews, Betty Cooper, Veronica Lodge, and Jughead Jones, all steering through teenage life. Although Bollywood welcomed the new kids gracefully, a certain section of netizens triggered the nepotism debate.

SRK is launching Suhana Khan in a Zoya Akhtar film The Archies and you're calling it nepotism. Never seen you guys applauding for his son Aryan Khan when he launched himself in a crime thriller with drug mafia without any help of SRK. Atleast be honest while complaining.

If you’re reading this piece, the chances are you’ve had a privileged upbringing. You most probably had access to elite English education and are probably reading this piece on a device that can only be owned by the top 1% of India’s population.https://t.co/VTgkv1Mdh4
