Suhana Khan, Khushi Kapoor, Agastya Nanda, Dot, Vedang Raina, Mihir Ahuja and Yuvraj Menda are making headlines for the right reasons. They will be seen in Zoya Akhtar's film, The Archies, which will stream on Netflix later this year.

Today, as the country is celebrating Independence Day, Suhana, Khushi, Agastya, Dot, Vedang, Mihir and Yuvraj turned volunteers at The Bombay Canteen to spread some cheer. They served food to the guests at the cafe. The Bombay Canteen called for a special 'Independence Day Daawat' and served regional Indian delicacies on a banana leaf.

With the help of volunteers, the ration will be distributed amongst 2000+ families in rural Maharashtra."
The Archies is produced by Zoya and Reema Kagti's Tiger Baby Films along with Sharad Devarajan's Graphic India and Archie Comics. The film is expected to premiere on Netflix in the last quarter of the year. The teaser was launched at Netflix's annual global fan event, Tudum in Brazil in June.
