The Bachchan family, including Amitabh Bachchan and Jaya Bachchan, attended the film's premiere at the Nita Mukesh Ambani Cultural Centre, demonstrating their support for Agastya, who is the son of Shweta Bachchan Nanda and Nikhil Nanda.

Directed by Zoya Akhtar, "The Archies" transports the audience to the fictional town of Riverdale in the 1960s, bringing to life the iconic characters of Archie, Veronica, Betty, Reggie, Dilton, Jughead, and Big Ethel.

In addition to Agastya, the film features a young cast of star kids, including Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor, Mihir Ahuja, Vedang Raina, Yuvraj Menda, and Aditi Saigal (Dot). The event was attended by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who playfully teased Agastya when asked to pose solo by the paparazzi.
