Shah Rukh Khan is a proud father as his daughter will make her on-screen debut with Zoya Akhtar's directorial The Archies. The cast announcement promo has been released, and it gives a glimpse of Suhana with Amitabh Bachchan's grandson Agastya Nanda, Boney Kapoor's daughter Khushi Kapoor and other lead cast members. SRK showed support to the team by sharing the teaser video on his Instagram.
Khan shared the video with an interesting story where he revealed that he used to rent Archie's Digest for 25 paise per day, and welcomed the fresh talents into the profession. He said, "From renting the Archie’s Digest for 25 paise per day from book rental stores to see @zoieakhtar make this come alive on screen….is just incredible. Wishing all the little ones the best as they take their first little steps into the most beautiful of professions."
