In an exclusive rapid-fire interview, Zoya Akhtar was asked except for Aditi 'Dot' Saigal, who is a good singer in real life among all the cast members of The Archies. The director said, "Vedang (Raina) sings very well. Suhana (Khan) sings well." Talking about the rest of the cast, she said that they are 'okay.'
In the same interview, she gave a sneak peek into all the actors in the film. She said, "The charmer of the seven, I think it's actually Archie. Veronica is the most hardworking. I would say maybe Dilton is the best dancer. Reggie has the most swag of them all. There's no diva. Party animal, maybe Dilton, because he's the youngest. Archie is the most mischievous on set. Betty is the most stylish. Reggie cannot pass a mirror without looking into it."
