Expressing excitement about the film, Zoya Akhtar said, ” “Having spent a lot of my
childhood living in an Archie Comic, I’m thrilled to introduce Riverdale to this generation.
The characters are iconic, their teenage life innocent, the world simpler, a time when less was more. Archie Comics, Netflix, Tiger Baby and Graphic India were in complete sync and wanted the adaptation to be as wholesome as the original comic was. It’s clean young adult content and was very fresh for Reema and me to work on. It’s also very exciting that a global IP chose the India film industry to make its first feature. Excited to get it out there.”
‘The Archies’ will be out on December 7. (ANI)
