Zoya Akhtar answers fun questions as she gives peek into The Archies' characters
During the exclusive interaction with us, Zoya Akhtar was asked to choose any of the seven characters she thinks fit the best with the given titles, such as charmers, swag, etc.
Giving a peek into the roles of Agastya Nanda, Aditi Dot, Khushi Kapoor, Mihir Ahuja, Suhana Khan, Vedang Raina, and Yuvraj Menda, Zoya added, "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."
