It was only recently that Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti announced ‘The Archies’ produced by their joint banner, Tiger Baby. The production house that earlier brought us cinematic gems like Gully Boy, India’s official entry to the Oscars, and the successful OTT drama Made in Heaven, as co-productions with Excel Entertainment, is now flying solo with the live-action musical directed by Zoya Akhtar. All set to stream on Netflix, ‘The Archies’ will introduce globally beloved Archie Comics characters to a new generation.
Talking about the exciting venture, producer Reema Kagti said, “Zoya and I both grew up reading the Archies so we have a massive connection to the characters. I’m stoked to reboot them in a live-action musical in 1960’s India. It’s also Tiger Baby’s first solo project so that makes this all the more special.”
