Zoya Akhtar on The Archies 

During a recent interaction with PTI, the filmmaker spoke about the film. Zoya shared: "The 60s were the time when there was a peace movement, a revolution that happened, and all the Bob Dylan...There was an idealism that we will make the world a better place. That was the era where they believed that they could change the world. There was a bit of rebellion, peace and love. It was also the era of rock 'n' roll. So, that whole feeling of that era is what we wanted to bring in. It is a simple young-adult feel good story."

Further, Akhtar added, "We are the Archie generation, and it resonates with us, and people who have read Archies will come in because they love the comic, but there are kids today who do not love the comic...We needed to have a strong story and package it in nostalgia and innocence."
