The adventures of Archie Andrews and his squad including Veronica, Betty will be soon be brought to screen courtesy filmmaker Zoya Akhtar, who is directing the Hindi adaptation of the popular Archie comics. The dream cast, you ask? Well, going by the pictures that are viral from the film's set, seems like Suhana Khan will be Veronica Lodge (the center-parted dark hair and the outfit choice gave it away). Khushi Kapoor's look has a striking resemblance to Betty Cooper (because nothing says Betty Cooper more than vest sweaters and skirts and the bangs, of course). Agastya Nanda, no points for guessing, will be Archie Andrews
Characters from the Archie comics have been immortalised by several adaptions of films and cartoon series. The character Archie Andrews first appeared in the Pep Comics and gained insane popularity in as a standalone character in the pop culture.
