Netflix India has been under criticism for run-of-the-mill content. The OTT giant is treading carefully as of now. The Archies come from the stable of Zoya Akhtar and Reema Kagti. As we know, these two women are good storytellers. Fans of Shah Rukh Khan are very kicked about the show as it marks the debut of Suhana Khan. Amitabh Bachchan’s grandson Agastya Nanda is also there along with Khushi Kapoor. Some years back, Shabana Azmi already gave a thumbs up to Suhana Khan saying that she had the skills to become an exceptional actress.
